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.

Manchester United are reportedly closely monitoring Samuel Chukwueze with an eye on making a move for the Villarreal winger.
The Nigeria international has a combined 12 goals and assists in the past two La Liga campaigns, while his 143 dribbles attempted since the start of last season is bettered by only five players in the division.
According to 90min, the 21-year-old is already on the radar of multiple Premier League sides, with Leicester City, Everton and now Man Utd all interested.
Chukwueze, who ended a 12-month goal drought with his strike in Villarreal's 2-0 win over Real Valladolid on Monday, is believed to have a release clause in excess of £80m in his contract.
Chelsea had previously been tipped to move for the Villarreal academy player before bringing in Kai Havertz in the summer.

Juventus are reportedly leading Roma in the race to sign Emerson Palmieri from Chelsea in the January transfer window.
The Italy international was keen to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer but was unable to finalise a return to Serie A.
Emerson finds himself well down the pecking order at Chelsea and has yet to feature in the Premier League this term, with his only start in all competitions coming against Barnsley in the EFL Cup.
Calciomercato claims that the 26-year-old is not short of suitors in the Italian top flight, with Juventus now considered the frontrunners to land his signature.
Juve are said to have already made contact with the left-back's representatives in the hope of having an agreement in place before the window opens in eight weeks' time.
