What happened. Reports suggest Enzo Fernandez is not deemed 'untouchable' by new Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso, with the club also exploring a move for Arsenal's Martin Zubimendi.
- Chelsea signed 10 players this summer, including five pre-agreed deals.
- Alonso is a huge fan of Zubimendi and told bosses to explore a move.
- Trevoh Chalobah arrived in Italy for a medical.
Transfer deadline is September 1, so more moves could happen before then.
