Chelsea have as many as ten names on the club’s list of transfer targets for the final few days of the summer window, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Romano told Caughtoffside: “Chelsea fans have also asked me about Rayan Cherki from Lyon, but I keep saying the same thing – I’m not aware of negotiations between Chelsea and Lyon for Cherki, and this has been the case all summer.

“If tomorrow it changes, I will let you know, but as of now Chelsea are not negotiating with Lyon or on the player side. They are looking for different players.

“There are around ten names on the list for Chelsea, but I’m told they are still in internal discussion over best option to pursue in the final days. It involves owners, directors and manager too. They’re deciding all together.

“Still, despite rumours and links with Raphinha and Ferran Torres, Barcelona have not received any formal approach as of today from Chelsea, let’s see in the final days.”
