The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Chelsea eye possible reinforcements.
The Blues failed to bring in a single player during the January window, despite seeing their transfer ban cut short by FIFA.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.
Tuesday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:
Chelsea 'open to offers of £50m for Kepa Arrizabalaga'

Chelsea are reportedly willing to part ways with Kepa Arrizabalaga for £50m during the summer transfer window.
Speculation has been rife surrounding the Spaniard's future in recent weeks, with Blues manager Frank Lampard adding fuel to the fire by benching Kepa for Willy Caballero on the final day of the Premier League season.
Caballero kept a clean sheet in Chelsea's final-day victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers as the Blues ensured Champions League qualification, and Lampard is reportedly desperate to do away with Kepa before the start of the 2020-21 campaign.
Chelsea made the Spaniard the world's most expensive goalkeeper when they forked out £72m to sign Kepa from Athletic Bilbao in 2018, but the Daily Mail reports that Chelsea are prepared to take a financial hit to offload the shot-stopper.
The report claims that Lampard's side will not accept any offers below £50m for Kepa, although the Blues would be open to loan deals should the interested party agree to pay a large chunk of his salary.
Lampard is supposedly heading up Chelsea's search for a new number one, with a recent report claiming that the Blues had narrowed their shortlist down to Ajax's Andre Onana and Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak.
Manchester United 'in talks with Dean Henderson over future'

Manchester United are reportedly yet to make a decision regarding both the short and long-term future of goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
The English stopper has just spent a successful loan period with Sheffield United, helping the Blades finishing in ninth place in the Premier League table.
While the Yorkshire outfit naturally want to keep the 23-year-old, Henderson would likely stay at Old Trafford if given assurances over opportunities in the starting lineup.
However, according to Manchester Evening News, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is yet to decide on where the academy graduate fits in his plans.
Although Henderson effectively has three years left on his contract, he is said to be open to making a permanent switch elsewhere if Solskjaer intends to keep faith with David de Gea.
Although Chelsea are believed to be monitoring the situation, United are unlikely to sell to one of their direct rivals.
