Edson Alvarez to Chelsea transfer: £43m bid, contract details ... (Football.London)

Chelsea Transfer News: Todd Boehly turns his attention to a new midfielder on deadline day to finally grant Thomas Tuchel wish.

Nonetheless, Chelsea have unleashed a late ploy to finally sign the Blues boss a midfielder with Alvarez subject to a bid. Martinez, who penned a five-year deal at United, even said he's hoping to reunite with his friend at another club one day. As it stands, ahead of the Blues' clash with West Ham at the weekend, only Billy Gilmour and Carney Chukwuemeka are said to be entirely match fit. Chelsea submitted a £43million bid for Ajax's Edson Alvarez yesterday, football.london understand. Edson Alvarez has quickly become heavily linked with a move to Chelsea on deadline day as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his midfield. Fellow Eredivisie star Ibrahim Sangare has also emerged as a late option for the west Londoners with just a few hours left before the window slams shut this evening.

Chelsea target Edson Alvarez 'skips Ajax training' to push through ... (Daily Express)

CHELSEA target Edson Alvarez has reportedly skipped Ajax training today in an attempt to push through a move to Stamford Bridge.

An agreement is set to be reached with Barca for the sale of Aubameyang. Douglas Luiz has been linked as an alternative signing to Alvarez. It’s very close to the end of the transfer window and when 1 September comes I will be a happy coach no matter what happens. Chelsea lost 2-1 to Southampton on Tuesday and have won just two of their first five matches of the season. The 24-year-old told Ajax this morning he wants to join Chelsea. He took the club's spending to over £250million earlier this week with the purchase of defender Wesley Fofana for an initial £70m.

Chelsea deal on tenterhooks as Edson Alvarez situation gets messy ... (Teamtalk.com)

Chelsea are wondering whether they will in fact sign Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez after his showdown transfer meeting with Ajax.

In the meantime, Ajax have confirmed the arrival of defensive midfielder Florian Grillitsch. Chelsea have submitted a £43million bid for the 24-year-old, only to face rejection. He is a senior international with lots of experience up his belt. And that includes Champions League and Europa League experience. Both have been the bedrock of the Blues’ midfield for a while, but both have also entered the final year of their deals. Alvarez missed training on Thursday morning in a bid to force the transfer to Stamford Bridge.
