Chelsea are still running in the transfer window seasons for more additions, despite spending over £200m.
A goalkeeper has always been a priority for Lampard following Kepa Arrizabalaga’s horrid display between the sticks last season. Chelsea has contacted several goalkeepers which includes Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak and Rennes’ Edouard Mendy. Furthermore, Declan Rice still remains a target for the Blues.
But Chelsea can see a shortage of money after spending huge. There is a need to sell players to raise enough funds as West Ham United is likely to demand at least £80m for the England international
According to the reports, Jorginho, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Andreas Christensen and Danny Drinkwater could all make way for Rice.
But a surprise cash injection could arrive at Chelsea in the near future.
It is reported that Aston Villa have made on £19m offer for Lyon winger, Bertrand Traore as Dean Smith aims to bolster his attacking options.
This particular transfer would be fantastic news for Chelsea as they have inserted a buy-back option in the deal. This will make Traore join Lyon permanently.

The report also states the Blues are due to receive 15 percent of any profit the French club makes on the fee should they sell him. So if Bertrand is signed, Chelsea would get a surprise windfall of just under £3m.
