      The West Londoners have already landed Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, Nicolas Jackson, Robert Sanchez and Lesley Ugochukwu, which has already cost them in the region of £171m.
      According to The Mail, Chelsea are now keeping tabs on Leeds’ Tyler Adams, Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic and of course Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, who remains a top target.
      Adams is expected to be the first deal to be completed in the coming days.

      Caicedo, on the other hand, will cost a staggering £105m to prise away from the South Coast but the Ecuador international wants to move to Stamford Bridge.
      However, the Seagulls expect to have the midfielder available for their first Premier League game of the season on August 12 against Luton.

      Palace are not keen to do business with Pochettino’s side for Olise after a rather inactive transfer window at Selhurst Park.
      But the club has agreed personal terms with the France Under-21 international.

      The winger is also targeted by Manchester City and will cost a fee in the region of £35m.
      However, Chelsea may have an advantage as the Eagles are keen on one of their left-backs Lewis Hall, whom they want to sign on loan.
      And the Argentine tactician needs a new striker to spearhead his attack.
      Vlahovic appears like the likeliest candidate and could cost £40m this summer.
      A deal for the Serbia international may also see wantaway centre-forward Romelu Lukaku going the other way to Juve.

      Mexican international midfielder Alvarez, 25, is seen as a direct replacement for Rice – and is expected to fly to London in the next 24 hours to complete his medical.
      West Ham saw an opening £30m bid rejected for the player, but have now settled on a fee which includes add-ons and a sell-on clause on a five-year deal.
      Alvarez – who had two years left on his contract with the Dutch giants – only landed back in Amsterdam on Monday morning from his summer holiday in Mexico, but is ready to get the switch completed as soon as possible.
      West Ham are confident Alvarez will be available to face Bournemouth in their Premier League opener on Saturday should there be no issues with his medical in East London.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Alvarez was on the verge of joining Chelsea last summer for around £42m only for the move fall through with Ajax unable to find a replacement.
      It is understood owner David Sullivan has taken a hands-on approach following West Ham’s struggles to get several deals over the line during the window.
      West Ham have so far failed in moves for James Ward-Prowse, Joao Palhinha, Harvey Barnes, Harry Maguire, Conor Gallagher, Scott McTominay and Carlos Borges.
      There has been reported tension between boss David Moyes and new technical director Tim Steidten; the former wanting established British players and the latter eyeing up young European talents.

      However, Alvarez appears to be a transfer that pleases all parties – with Moyes hopeful this will kick-start a late surge before their clash with the Cherries.
      West Ham are still on the look-out for midfielders, and are considering making a fourth offer for Southampton’s Ward-Prowse.
      The Saints are holding out for close to £40m for the 28-year-old, while Manchester United’s McTominay is also an option for Moyes, despite Steidten’s reservations.
      West Ham are expected to need another forward as well with Gianluca Scamacca on the verge of returning to Italy with Atalanta in a deal worth up to £27m including add-ons.
      Scamacca, 24, arrived at West Ham last summer for £30.5m from Sassuolo but scored just three Prem goals in 16 appearances.
      Should Scamacca depart, Moyes will have just Michail Antonio and 18-year-old Divin Mubama has options to lead the line.

      He has been made to train away from the PSG first team with a group of players labelled “the undesirables” – which includes the likes of former Liverpool star Gini Wijnaldum and World Cup winner Leandro Paredes.
      But those issues seemed a world away from the Frenchman as he jetted off to Sardinia to enjoy some downtime.
      Mbappe was seen stepping off a lavish private jet alongside a friend before making his way to a beach club.

      The forward signed a deal until 2024 with the option to extend by another year this window.
      The £893,000-a-week contract extension was signed after extensive negotiations with PSG President Nasser El-Khelaifi and even a personal intervention from French President Emmanuel Macron.
      After the deal was signed, Mbappe was presented to fans with an ‘Mbappe 2025’ shirt – such was the club’s conviction that he would activate his extension clause this summer.
      But after it became clear that Mbappe had no intention of triggering the extension, the club became convinced that he would sign for Real Madrid on a free transfer next year.
      PSG President El-Khelaifi penned a furious letter in response to Mbappe’s failure to extend accusing the forward of causing “enormous harm” to the club.
      The club are now desperate to sell the forward in order to garner a fee for him and reportedly accepted a £259million bid from Saudi side Al-Hilal last month for the Frenchman.
      Mbappe, however, refused to meet with the Saudi club.
      The lack of resolution over a transfer next season could see the forward benched by PSG for the entirety of their 2023-24 campaign.
