Federico Chiesa - It's fair to say Timo Werner's debut season at Stamford Bridge was underwhelming, despite being part of the squad that won the Champions League. Thomas Tuchel rarely used the German forward, perhaps suggesting Werner's time in West London may be shortlived. The Blues could do worse than try to tempt Chiesa out of Juventus' clutches. The deposed Italian champions have made clear Chiesa will spearhead their attack this term, so Chelsea may well offer a player-plus-cash deal.
Erling Haaland - Any club wishing to sign the prolific Norwegian is going to have to seriously test Borussia Dortmund's resolve to keep their man. The German club have left no ambiguity in their messages to would-be suitors that they are prepared to miss out on a huge transfer fee for Haaland, 20, in order to keep him at Signal Iduna Park for another season. Haaland, who is also wanted by a posse of Europe's top clubs, will be available for around £70 million next summer due to a release clause in his contract.
Romelu Lukaku - The Belgian's two years in Serie A has seen him transform into one of world football's premier No 9s. Lukaku spreaheaded Inter Milan's title surge last term and has already publicly indicated that he wishes to remain at San Siro to work under new head coach Simone Inzaghi. However, Inter's financial situation may force them to cash in on their star striker if Chelsea are prepared to meet the reported £100 million valuation.
Jules Kounde - the Frenchman is a wanted man, with Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Barcelona all credited with an interest. Sevilla are thought to be willing to listen to bids of £50 million for the centre-back, who has made it clear he wants to leave Andalusia this summer.
Declan Rice - West Ham manager David Moyes is probably fielding more than phone calls than usual after Rice's exceptional performances for England at Euro 2020. The midfielder was the beating heart of a side that came up short in a shoot-out defeat to Italy. His combativeness will provide extra steel to Chelsea's engine room, allowing more creative players to flourish.
