Rumour Reel: Chelsea chasing five targets, Everton eye Iceland hero

Holly Thackeray | July 23, 2016

Another Saturday, another round of riveting rumours as Premier League clubs continue to have their interests piqued by the prospect of summer signings. Chelsea are dominating the tabloids this morning, with the Blues supposedly keen on between four and five more additions – but who could they be?

Blues to bag fantastic five?

Most of the off-season attention has so far surrounded Manchester rivals United and City, but Chelsea could be about to take centre stage, as the papers now tip tactician Antonio Conte to try for up to five further players.

The London Blues have already lured Michy Batshuayi and N’Golo Kante to the English capital for around £63m combined, but Stamford Bridge could now have more new arrivals in the pipeline after talks were believed to be held between the new boss and Blues owner Roman Abramovich.

To propel Chelsea back into title contention, Conte is thought to be targeting another top class striker, with Real Madrid marksman Alvaro Morata and former Blues goal bagger Romelu Lukaku reportedly the primary targets up top, with PSG poacher Edinson Cavani an outside option.

While, centre back is believed to be the other area most in need of refreshment, and Roma defender Kostas Manolas along with Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly stand out as the most likely transfers, though Benfica young-gun Victor Lindelof has also emerged as a potentially cheaper capture.
