Chelsea are said to be in advanced talks with three key players this summer with the view of signing them as soon as possible, according to Goal Chelsea Correspondent Nizaar Kinsella.
The Blues have been almost inactive in the transfer market until Antonio Conte’s future was decided on Thursday. That may trigger quite a number of arrivals and departures, as players now get to know their fate with the incoming manager.
Reports have linked Chelsea with a move for Napoli central midfielder Jorginho, who was close to a Manchester City deal but now looks poised to sign for the Blues with the Standard Sport reporting he is undergoing a medical with the Blues. Kinsella reports he is not the only man in advanced talks with the club as they prepare to sign a couple more in the coming weeks.
Chelsea have been working on transfers in and out during Conte's limbo, but finalisation on anything couldn't happen. Advanced talks with Jorginho, Golovin, Rugani. Some talks for Alisson have happened and possibly more. The higher value loanees have had to be patient #CFC

Russia World Cup 2018 star Aleksander Golovin is also reportedly on Chelsea’s radar and want to sign him from CSKA Moscow this summer as per the Express. Juventus young defender Danielle Rugani is also close to a Chelsea switch this summer if reports from Italy are to be believed.
That will add some pace to Chelsea rather boring transfer window so far.
