Reports have claimed that Chelsea are now keen on signing more than one midfielder this summer.

According to the Evening Standard, the Blues will look to add another target to their ranks as well as Moises Caicedo if they get the deal for him over the line.

Attempts to sign Caicedo have been well-documented throughout the entire window so far, with a number of bids being swiftly rejected.

It is believed that Brighton value the Ecuador international alongside Declan Rice, who has recently move for a British record fee to Arsenal.

Chelsea are less keen to pay that figure, and are not willing to include defender Levi Colwill in any potential deal.

This has seen things reach a standstill, with a fee of £100m currently not being offered by the Blues for the 21-year-old to get it over the line.

However, he is reportedly not their only target for a midfielder. They have also remained interested in the additions of Gabri Veiga and Amadou Onana to the middle of the park.

Despite their quality, the individual they have reportedly sounded out to add to Caicedo is Mohammed Kudus from Ajax.

A price tag of around £40m has been quoted as what the Dutch side are looking for, with it expected that the player would be keen on the move if it comes to fruition.

The position certainly looks as if it is one that could use more than one addition, after a number of first team options have already moved on.

N’golo Kante, Mateo Kovaic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all left the club, while it is currently expected that another bid will come in for Conor Gallagher after the Blues rejected one from West Ham in the last 24 hours.
