And Frank Lampard is also interested in a discounted deal for John Stones, after an agent revealed that he had vetoed the transfer.
Follow all the latest bridge updates below…
FRANK FEELS FOXY
Chelsea could be on the verge of joining Manchester United in search of Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Blues boss Frank Lampard will update Kepa Arrizabalaga this summer.
Now, the Times claims that the Dane may be their pick to be their new number one.
But West London is facing a fierce festival over traffic jams in demand.
Sun Sport exclusively revealed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is targeting a swoop for Schmeichel.
JOR FALLING
Juventus are no longer interested in Chelsea jorginho midfielder, according to reports.
The Serie A champions were willing to incorporate the 28-year-old player, after firing former Blues coach Maurizio Sarri, turning to Brescia star Sandro Tonali.
La Juve surprised world football by firing Sarri and replacing him with iconic but green star Andrea Pirlo on Saturday.
And Sarri’s departure marked the end of the Juve chase from Italian Jorginho, according to TuttoSport.
RAM RAID
Chelsea rookie goalkeeper Nathan Baxter is wanted by Derthrough and Birmingham is on loan.
The 21-year-old is highly qualified at Stamford Bridge and the club needs to see him gain league delight.
Baxter has already secured loans in Yeovil, Woking, Solihull Moors and Ross County.
A Blues source told SunSport: “This guy has a genuine style and Derby and Birmingham are very enthusiastic.”
PIRLO SAYS NO
Andrea Pirlo has no mercy as the new boss of Juventus as he prepares to beat seven stars, according to reports.
The legendary 41-year-old midfielder replaced Maurizio Sarri at Allianz Stadium this weekend.
And Pirlo wastes little time getting rid of the dead wood he doesn’t need, starting with former Chelsea striker Gonzalo Higuain and Manchester United striker Douglas Costa.
The report also adds that Sami Khedira and Blaise Matuidi are also on the verge of being fired with the two 33-year-old midfielders.
Finally, defenders Mattia De Sciglio, Alex Sandro and Daniele Rugani could be sold as well.
FUL STEAM AHEAD
Chelsea star Ethan Ampadu is reportedly in Fulham.
The 19-year-old defender spent last season with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have as much playtime as he wanted, making only seven appearances.
Athletic says Chelsea’s neighbours, Fulham, are favorites to point it out.
They claim the Cottagers have beaten the Canary Islands and are now going to sign a contract with Chelsea on a season-long loan.
Have
Kai Havertz is pushing harder to move to the Premier League than Jadon Sancho.
Bundesliga stars are connected with one step to the English elite.
Havertz, 21, at 90 million pounds, is attracting a lot of interest from Chelsea, while United disagrees with Borussia Dortmund, which 20-year-old Sancho weighs 108 million pounds.
According to Sky Sports, the couple is “the one who moves as fast as possible”.
BLUE MOON
Frank Lampard reportedly turned down a task offered to him by the club last summer to take care of his beloved Chelsea.
The 42-year-old won rave reviews in his first year as coach after guiding Derthrough to the championship play-off final, where he won 2–1 through Aston Villa.
Although many canceled Chelsea at the start of the season, Lampard took his team to fourth place in this quarter, while his team also finished a moment in the FA Cup.
But it could have been a very different path for Lampard if he had selected another path, and The Athletic noted that the three-time Premier League winner had a task to offer him the club.
‘THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING’
Chelsea said goodbye to Peter after years.
The 33-year-old is now about to join Roma with a loose transfer.

COOK FOR MORE
Chelsea’s Tiemoue Bakayoko has reportedly agreed personal terms with AC Milan.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the French star is in a position to get a massive victory to sign for the Italian team.
His salary will go from about 5.4 million pounds a year to 2.7 million pounds plus bonuses.
Bakayoko has spent two years on loan at AC Milan and AS Monaco.
But Chelsea still hopes to save about 31.5 million pounds for his signature.
FERD IT HERE FIRST
Robert Pires has named Rio Ferdinand and John Terry as the toughest two war parties he has in the Premier League.
Gunners legend told the MOTD Top 10 podcast: “In the Premier League are John Terry and Rio Ferdinand.
“The matches against Chelsea and Manchester United have been tricky and Terry and Ferdinand have been very tough, very physical.
“Coming from France to play in the Premier League, it was very complicated at first.”
I HAVE TO GET IT.
Chelsea has signed a five-year contract with Bayer Leverkusen striker Kai Havertz.
Now Londoners will have to pay the move payment for the 21-year-old, and Leverkusen will not be short of decreasing his initial value of 90 million pounds.
According to RMC Sport, “discussions continue” between the two sides, and Chelsea is “optimistic” to conclude the agreement.
Havertz will sign up for a line of attack that includes new recruits Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, who are sure to thrill the faithful at Stamford Bridge.
BEING FRANK
Frank Lampard creates a Chelsea who can fight for the Premier League name next season, Ricardo Carvalho said.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the Chelsea legend said: “Since he has lost Eden Hazard, he has done very well.
“He was given a spot in the Champions League for next season, which of course is very important, and brought talented young players.
“Frank is building a team and I think next year he can fight for the name with those players, of course.
Exclusive
Brighton do not want to lose in-demand Chelsea target Ben White – but are happy to let Shane Duffy leave.
Albion turned down an offer to be by Leeds prodigy White, for whom he has shined on loan this season.
Several main clubs, Frank Lampard and Liverpool, are following their progress.
But Graham Potter plans to start with White next season and has maintained that he didn’t need to see the 22-year-old leave.
Duffy, 28, is about to move forward with the talks between the Seagulls and West Brom about a conceivable transfer.
FOX HUNTING
Another call has been added to the chelsea goalkeepers’ goal list.
The Times reports that Frank Lampard is an admirer of Kasper Schmeichel, who is in a position to leave Leicester for a Champions League club.
Duncan Castles writes: “The 33-year-old has long had the ambition to form Manchester United, which he has with David De Gea, and is admired through Lampard, who has his own Spanish goalkeeper problem.”
HAVE SOME OF THAT.
Chelsea will point to Kai Havertz “if they do it as much as he does,” reports Sky Sports Kaveh Solhekol.
He says Havertz has been agitated by a movement in the scenes and is more interested in enrolling in Chelsea than Jadon Sancho is expected to sign up for Man Utd.
The result of all this is that an agreement will be reached after the end of Bayer Leverkusen’s Europa League campaign.
Maybe it’s tonight, when they face Antonio Conte’s Inter in Germany.
Leverkusen Sporting Director Rudi Voller remains insistent that Havertz will not leave for less than £90m, but Solhekol says this is a “standard tactic” in these situations.
GOOD MORNING CHELSEA FANS,
Tammy Abraham admits that he will have to take his game to a new level to beat Timo Werner in the leading attacking role in Chelsea.
But the 22-year-old English star is in no condition to cede his post alongside Frank Lampard without a fight.
He said: “That’s all I dreamed of when I was a kid, so I have to fight for my place, it’s never going to be easy.
“It wasn’t easy at the beginning of the season, but I joined the team and that’s what I have to keep doing.
“This is Chelsea Football Club. There will be the best criteria and the highest competition.”
Abraham had a decent first full season in the Blues’ first team last season with 19 goals, however, Werner’s forty-five million pound arrival at Stamford Bridge leaves his position under serious threat.
On the front, Chelsea is said to have made a 20 million pound move to face Manchester City defender John Stones.
The 26-year-old England star is likely to leave the Etihad this summer following the £41m arrival of ex-Blues player Nathan Ake.
According to the Mirror, the former Everton boy has emerged from Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.
The report adds that Lamps believes he can resurrect Stones’ career and is in a position to sanction a movement of 20 million pounds.
THE PRICE IS OK
Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly refusing to drop their asking price for Kai Havertz.
The Leverkusen needs a hundred million euros. Chelsea introduced 60.

HAVING THE BLUES
Kevin Phillips said the arrivals of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech would mark the end of the English duo Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi in Chelsea.
He told Football Insider: “You can see things in two tactics as a player.
“For me, with my own head, I see it as a competition, with whom I can be informed and that means you have to work in education week after week to claim a place in the camp.
“But basically, when you bring in quality players like that, you expect those two players to start.
“Frank knows more that this festival is healthy on any team as long as everyone is happy. These young players have had a first-team action flavor, but they are less difficult to handle than two more experienced players sitting on the bench and not playing. .
“Competition but I would not say they need to be worried. See it as a challenge to go and stake a claim.”

Norwich City is looking to secure a loan from Chelsea’s Ethan Ampadu after his move to RB Leipzig last season.

I HAVE SOME OF THEM
Chelsea has signed a long-term contract with Kai Havertz.
RMC Sport says the Blues have agreed to a payment with Bayer Leverkusen for the German transfer.
Yet the report adds that Havertz has agreed to pen a deal which will keep him tied to Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
CHRIS ALMIGHTY
Christian Pulisic shared a photo of his training years with chelsea teammate Mason Mount.
LEW BEAUTY
Tammy Abraham has admitted that he is encouraged through the world forward, Robert Lewandowski.
He told Chelsea’s website: “For me, he’s the front man at the world class right now, and that’s the point where I want to succeed and improve. That’s what I aspire to.
“Coming here and playing against him is a great learning curve, a great experience for me.
“Going into next season and onwards I’ve got to build myself to get to those high levels.”
ONCE ON A BLUE MOON
Tammy Abraham insisted that Chelsea have had a “phenomenal” season despite their last losses in the FA Cup final and in the Champions League.
He told Chelsea’s website: “It’s been a season for me and the boys.
“I couldn’t have asked for a bigger season.
“I’ve had some disorder here and there, but I came out more powerful and now I have to get ready for next season, start well and finish well. That’s my pass. I have to raise the bar and back up.
“It’s never been easy at the beginning of this season, however, I’ve made my way through the team and that’s what I have to keep doing.”
Unexpectedly
Chelsea must have made a 20 million pound move to reach Manchester City defender John Stones.
The 26-year-old English star is likely to leave the Etihad this summer after the arrival of 41 million pounds from former Blues player Nathan Ake.
According to the Mirror, the former Everton boy has emerged from Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.
The report adds that Lamps believes he can resurrect Stones’ career and is in a position to sanction a movement of 20 million pounds.
But they are expected to face a festival for the Stones by his former boss David Moyes at West Ham.
Arsenal, controlled by former City Arteta assistant, is also interested in the London club having to sell before they can buy.
