Chelsea return to action on Saturday against West London rivals Fulham, in what will be a tough test after an easy win over West Ham. Marco Silva’s team has a history of frustrating major opponents, and Enzo Maresca will need to devise a strategy to overcome that.
Meanwhile, activity continues in the transfer market, with time running out before Monday’s transfer deadline. Here’s a roundup of all the latest Stamford Bridge news and transfer rumours.
Chelsea are allegedly in talks about signing Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez. The 22-year-old is apparently looking into his alternatives for more frequent starts this summer.
Given his age, Lopez has made 60 league appearances for Barcelona, but he is not a regular starter, which is prompting him to ponder leaving the club. According to TBR, Chelsea has looked into a prospective transfer, and Lopez may be interested in moving to Stamford Bridge.

“Discussions discuss the deal’s structure as #CFC has one international loan space left and it must include a commitment to buy. So far, nothing has been done on the player or club side, but Bayern continues to urge.
Chelsea’s problem is that they demand money up front if they let Jackson leave, which is vital since they need money to spend.
