CHELSEA could still make THREE more signings this summer despite their monster spending already.
The Blues have already bought Ben Chilwell (£50million), Timo Werner (£48m) and Hakim Ziyech (£36m) this window.

Centre-backs Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr have also arrived on free transfers.
Despite already over-compensating for last summer’s transfer ban, Frank Lampard hopes to bring in THREE more new faces.
Kai Havertz is the top target, with the £90m-rated Bayer Leverkusen star expected to be confirmed at Stamford Bridge imminently.
Chelsea and Leverkusen have agreed to a £90m fee, including £72m up front and two instalments of £9m apiece.
However, the “when” regarding those two future payments is yet to be agreed upon.
Chelsea also hope to complete the signing of West Ham ace Declan Rice after Roman Abramovich gave the green light for a £150m splurge.
The Hammers want £80m for their prized asset, but the West Londoners want to cut that figure to below £50m
But the Blues are also desperate for a new goalkeeper to get rid of £71.6m flop Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Lampard has already looked at Dean Henderson, Andre Onana, Jan Oblak and Edouard Mendy.
Henderson signed a new five-year contract at Manchester United, while deals for Onana and Oblak proved fruitless.
Ajax appeared unwilling to sell Onana cheaply, while Atletico Madrid wants Oblak’s £109m release clause met in full.
The Blues turned their attention to Rennes stopper Mendy, but saw a £15m bid knocked back.
Now, reports in Italy have claimed Chelsea want AC Milan stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is out of contract at the San Siro at the end of the 2020-21 season.
Chelsea are now set to test the Serie A giants’ resolve with a £45m bid.
