Chelsea are to continue the reinforcements in their team during the summer with the observed intention of adding up to six new faces to the club by mid July.
The first deal that was coming through business was Tosin Adarabioyo’s free transfer from Fulham in early June.
The last signing to be made before the end of the month was Omari Kellyman who was signed from Aston Villa.
Marc Guiu has been given the permission to sign, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has arrived from Leicester City in the company of Enzo Maresca.
According to various sources it is believed that Chelsea has made a £12 million bid for signing Renato Veiga from Basel.
Veiga will sit for a medical checkup and he has also negotiated on his personal term of the deal with the club, if he will be deemed fit to play then a deal could be negotiated with him.
However, one aspect missing from the deal is the lack of a sell-on clause, as mentioned by Fabrizio Romano and elaborated on by The Athletic.

It remains to note that Maresca aims to exploit Veiga as an inverted full-back, which was utilized during his time at Leicester.
Veiga has been actually more of a defensive midfielder with Basel but has also been useful in the position of a center back for Portugal U-21.
Inverted full-backs also form part of Maresca’s system and having a player like Veiga with his left foot, is an advantage.
Despite the fact that he has been used as a left-back once in a while, he is better served in central positions, though, this is the role that Maresca wises him to play.
Marc Cucurella has also shown his capacity of performing an invert for the team under the coaching of Mauricio Pochettino.
Signing lincence players such as Dewsbury-Hall who fits Maresca style of play should ensure that Chelsea begins the following season on a good note with their new head coach.
Another logical addition to the squad during the summer transfer window, Veiga costs only a relatively small amount of money.
Contrary to what some might think, the above moves show that Chelsea has been quite active in the transfer market, especially if their aim is to bolster the team.
Adarabioyo strengthens the position of the team in the segment that is also proven to be problematic for the club.
With a new promising talent, the team sees an addition in attacking prowess from Kellyman.
Another profitable move is signing Guiu, who can further enhance the team in both depth and possibility for improvement.
The signing of Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City depicts that Maresca prefers to bring players he can trust and is in touch with personally.
