Cesc Fabregas is very close to the exit door at Chelsea, so it’s no wonder the club are in top gear preparing to replace him.
The Spanish midfielder has been seen in Monaco this week, and his move to the Principality is only dependent on Chelsea securing his replacement.
Sky Sports are reporting that the Blues are close to deals for TWO different midfielders to fill that role:

But Blues fans shouldn’t get too excited about that double deal. In all likelihood, we will only sign one, and are just pursuing both right now to keep our options open.
In the end, we will pick one according to which the manager prefers, and more importantly which offers the better value deal. We will have to wait and see, but if Cesc goes, that will mean for sure that a deal for one of these talented players is completed sooner rather than later.
