Chelsea deadline day transfer news, rumours and updates Live: Kepa Arrizabalaga joins Bournemouth, latest on Ivan Toney, Raheem Sterling and much more!

Chelsea have agreed to seal the transfer of Brazilian winger Angelo Gabriel to Al-Nassr in a deal worth €23million. The Brazilian wonderkid has sealed to a move to Saudi Arabia before the Saudi transfer deadline day.

The 19-year-old was one of the most highly-rated young prospects when Chelsea signed him in August 2023 by sealing a deal worth €15 million. Gabriel spent the last season on loan with Chelsea’s sister-club RC Strasbourg but struggled to make a mark in the French league.

But after just one year with Chelsea, Gabriel decided to transfer to Ronald-led Al-Nassr side on a five-year contract.

Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell is content to stay at the club despite falling down the pecking order after he was told by manager Enzo Maresca that he’s not part of his plans in the ongoing campaign. The 27-year-old was widely linked with a potential swoop to Man United but no move materialised for the English defender on the deadline day.

Chilwell is contracted with Chelsea until the summer of 2027 and he’s very much willing to pocket his £200k-a-week salary for the remainder of the campaign. He is the second-most highest-paid player in the Chelsea roster after Reece James.

The left-back is content to stay at Stamford Bridge and doesn’t want to leave unless the right opportunity presents itself in the coming days.

The Blues are exploring a move for LOSC Lille winger Edon Zhegrova and are looking into the possibility of securing an early deal for the Kosovo international. The 25-year-old winger was also linked with a move to Manchester United and Atalanta this summer.

Zhegrova has scored 10 goals for Lille last season and now has four already this campaign in seven games. Despite investing heavily in this summer window on a lot of new attackers, Chelsea are keen to strike a deal with the Zhegrova as they believe his valuation would increase if he signs a new deal with Lille.

Earlier this summer, Chelsea completed the signing of Aston Villa teenager Omari Kellyman on a six-year contract. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder was part of Aston Villa’s pre-season tour in the United States and also appeared in six first-team games at Villa Park before his transfer to Stamford Bridge.

The England U-19 international was expected to move to Birmingham City on deadline day but a move failed to materialise. The youngster has sustained a hamstring injury that will keep him on the sidelines for a lengthy period.

Omari Kellyman is expected to be out for at least two months with his hamstring injury.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has explained why the club didn’t push hard to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimnhen in the final hours of the deadline day. Both parties were involved in negotiations in the final days of the transfer window but a deal could not materalise before the Friday deadline which was set at 11 pm.

The Nigerian striker was reportedly demanding £500,000 weekly wage, a sum which was way above Chelsea’s salary budget. Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli were offering Osimnhen a €40m per season contract but he wanted to stay in Europe.

Eventually, both Chelsea and Osimhen failed to agree on terms before the end of the deadline day.

“We want players but we want players that we decide and then the condition has to be our condition. So if the players are not here, then that means the conditions were not good for us,” said Maresca in a press conference.

Chelsea winger Angelo Gabriel has been linked with a move away from the West London outfit throughout the summer transfer window. He is one of the few players who are essentially available for a permanent or temporary exit at a time when only a few nations can conduct business in the transfer window.

The 19-year-old Brazilian joined the Blues last season and spent the year on loan at BlueCo-owned RC Strasbourg. Al-Nassr are reportedly ready to pay £25m for the Brazil international in the finals hours of the deadline day.

But Chelsea are reportedly seeking as much as £33million for the young Brazilian forward.

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has extended his contract with the West London giants until the summer of 2023. Despite the striker joining the club only 12 months ago, Chelsea have extended the former Villarreal striker’s contract by two more years.

The Senegalese forward has scored 14 goals in the Premier League last season and has been rewarded by the Chelsea hierarchy this summer. Chelsea worked hard to sign Victor Osimhen in the final days of the summer window but Jackson still remains a crucial player at Stamford Bridge.

Jackson has now scored 18 goals and registered seven assists in 47 games in all competitions.

The 22-year-old striker has completed his season-long loan move to Everton for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign. Armando Broja was expected to complete a deadline-day move to Ipswich but Everton somehow secured a move for the Albanian international who is expected to be out until mid-October with a foot injury.

Broja will join Everton on a season-long loan and the club has the option to make the move permanent next summer for around £30m. Broja’s current deal with Chelsea expires in the summer of 2028.

The Gunners have sanctioned a season-long loan move for Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling who was heavily linked to the Emirates in the final hours of the deadline day.

The England international was frozen out by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca and was informed that he would not play a minute under the new manager. His move to Arsenal does not include any obligation for a permanent deal next summer.

“My time with Raheem was exceptional,” Arteta said ahead of Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Aston Villa. “We built a really strong relationship together. He was unbelievable at that time.

“He taught me a lot as well, about individuals, how the players think, how we help them and support them. He is someone I have really strong feelings about.”

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has completed his season-long loan move to Chelsea with the club having the obligation to buy the England international for between £20-25m next summer.

Chelsea managed to submit a deal sheet before the 11 pm deadline and had until 1 am to complete Sancho’s transfer. The 24-year-old winger is expected to sign a long-term contract next summer. The former Borussia Dortmund winger ends his three-year disastrous spell with Man Utd.

United were keen to negotiate a permanent move for the England international but his £40 million valuation proved to be a major stumbling block.
