Tuesday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:


Achraf Hakimi 'open to Chelsea, Arsenal move'

Inter Milan are reportedly prepared to sell defender Achraf Hakimi during the summer transfer window.

The Italian giants edged out a number of teams to win the race for the wing-back, agreeing to pay Real Madrid a £35m fee for his signature last July.

However, while the 22-year-old has contributed six goals and three assists in Serie A this season, Inter may be forced to part ways with the Morocco international.

According to The Athletic, Inter have failed to pay the first installment of the deal which was agreed with Real due to their current financial issues.

The report adds that club officials may now be prepared to cash in on Hakimi in order to ensure that they fulfil their commitments with their Spanish counterparts.

Hakimi is allegedly open to a switch to the Premier League, something which would likely alert Chelsea and Arsenal.



Chelsea opt against Tino Anjorin loan exit?

Chelsea have reportedly opted against sending Tino Anjorin out on loan for the rest of the season.

Frank Lampard gave the academy graduate opportunities against Krasnodar and Morecambe before he was replaced by Thomas Tuchel last week.

With the 19-year-old now out of the running for a first-team spot, it had been expected that the midfielder would spend the second half of the campaign elsewhere.

However, The Athletic claims that Anjorin will continue his development at Stamford Bridge in the short term.

The report claims that clubs in the Championship and across Europe have had loan bids rejected in recent weeks.

Anjorin is only likely to come into contention for Chelsea's FA Cup fixtures, with the next tie coming at Barnsley on February 11.
