Chelsea close to signing three players in the next week

London Evening Standard has reported that the Blues are close to signing as many as three players in the coming seven days. Willy Caballero will be signing on the first of July as a replacement for Asmir Begovic. Tiemoue Bakayako is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge and will arrive soon. The biggest news coming in from the Bridge is that personal terms have been agreed between Romelu Lukaku and Chelsea with the small matter of the transfer fee yet to be sorted.

Everton eye Celtic star

It is just a matter of days before Romelu Lukaku bids adieu to Everton and the Toffees are now working on identifying his replacement. Daily Post claims that Ronald Koeman has decided to sign two strikers in order to replace the Belgian, one of them being Malaga's Sandro Ramirez.

Daily Post has also revealed that Everton want to sign Celtic's Moussa Dembele after the youngster scored 32 goals for the Hoops last season. Dembele wants a move to the Premier League and might choose Everton over Manchester United and Chelsea because of the prospect of regular playing time.
