The summer transfer window has now closed, with Chelsea among the busiest clubs and biggest spenders in world football.
After two windows without signing a single player, the Blues made up for lost time by splashing well over £200m on the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva. Attention will now switch to the January window and whether Chelsea will invest heavily again.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.
Saturday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:

Reading youngster Michael Olise is reportedly being tracked by Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The 18-year-old, who has scored twice and registered three assists in 11 appearances for his Championship club this season, is believed to be a target for the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.
However, according to reports in Spain, Barca and Madrid 'love' the versatile attacker, who will seemingly have the pick of a number of teams in 2021.
Olise's existing deal is due to expire in June 2022, and a recent report claimed that there is currently an £8m release clause in the Frenchman's contract.
The teenager spent time with Chelsea and Man City during his youth career before joining Reading, ultimately signing a professional contract with the Royals in July 2019.
Olise has scored twice and registered five assists in 38 first-team appearances for his English club.
Inter Milan 'planning triple Chelsea swoop in January'

Inter Milan are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea trio Marcos Alonso, Olivier Giroud and Emerson Palmieri during the January transfer window.
Alonso and Emerson were both strongly linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge over the summer, but the deadline passed with the defensive duo still in London.
Giroud, meanwhile, has only played 30 minutes of Premier League football this season, with the France international very much down the pecking order when it comes to the forward positions.
According to Tuttosport, Inter boss Antonio Conte wants a back-up striker for Romelu Lukaku and has identified Giroud as the ideal signing ahead of the second half of the 2020-21 campaign.
The report, meanwhile, claims that a new left-back is also a priority for the Italian giants in the winter market, and both Alonso and Emerson are on the club's shortlist.
Ben Chilwell has become Chelsea's undisputed first-choice left-back since arriving from Leicester City.
