Under new owner Todd Boehly, the Blues have already smashed the British spending record for a single transfer window.
Thomas Tuchel has welcomed the likes of Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly to his squad at Stamford Bridge but is keen to bolster his ranks further before the summer window closes on Thursday night.
Chelsea have endured a mixed start to the new season and slipped to a second defeat against Southampton last night.
It was reported on Wednesday that Chelsea were interested in signing Brazilian superstar Neymar but The Times say PSG are now refusing to sell.
As a result, it is claimed that Chelsea have turned their attentions to other targets and are now in talks for AC Milan’s Leao and Dynamo Moscow’s Zakharyan.
Portugal international Leao, 23, impressed in Italy last season and is believed to be keen on a move to the Premier League.
Russian star Zakharyan, meanwhile, scored seven goals and claimed eight assists last season, attracting interest from a number of clubs from across Europe.
Chelsea are also pursuing a deal for Josko Gvardiol with the intention of loaning him back to RB Leipzig for the rest of the 2022-23 season.
The Blues have been linked with a move for Barcelona striker and former Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but the deal is in the balance after he broke his jaw during a terrifying home robbery earlier this week.
French defender Fofana became the latest high-profile player to sign for Chelsea on Wednesday and said: ‘The two last days have been really big for me and I’m very happy.
‘I trained this morning with the team and it’s a dream for me. I’m very excited to start playing games for the fans and the club.
‘I’m here to win trophies – the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, everything. I came here to win and the club is built to win trophies so I’m here to continue that.’
