Chelsea have been keen to part ways with a number of first team players as the transfer window approaches its final few hours.

The Blues are in the final moments of what has been a busy summer transfer window at Stamford Bridge, with the magnitude of signing increasing seemingly every week.

Attack is one area that Chelsea seem to not be completely settled with, and reports of a new striker coming in have not disappeared.

It seems they are targeting one of Ivan Toney or Victor Osimhen for the role, however are facing strong competition from Saudi Arabia for either of their signatures.

It looks as if there are a number of individuals that they wanted out this summer play in this position, with a potential deadline day move on the cards for Deivid Washington.

Ipswich still want Armando Broja

The same could be the case for Armando Broja, with him very much not in the plans of Enzo Maresca.

Sky Sports News have been told that Ipswich Town are back in the race to sign him this summer.

They said: “We have just been told that a deal to bring Armando Broja to Ipswich could be back on. That’s despite Ipswich being fully aware after his medical that they could be without him for up to 12 weeks.

“It looked like that deal was off and he would fail a medical but it could be back on now.”

Romelu Lukaku sold to Napoli

It is likely that the Premier League side would be looking for a far more attractive deal at their end than what it was before, with £30m being offered if they stayed in the top flight.

The Blues have already made the sale of Romelu Lukaku this summer for big money, with them hoping that will have played a part in their negotiations for Osimhen.

Those talks are likely to go all the way until the end of the transfer window.
