Chelsea and Liverpool's transfer battle has dominated the headlines in recent days but the Blues could now present Manchester United with a transfer headache.
The Stamford Bridge outfit beat Liverpool to the British record transfer signing of Moises Caicedo from Brighton and look set to do the same with Romeo Lavia after agreeing a deal with Southampton.
But one Chelsea departure means Maurico Pochettino and Erik ten Hag could be shopping for similar players in the closing fortnight of the transfer window.
Chelsea sanctioned a loan move for Kepa Arrizabalaga to join Real Madrid. The Spain international looked set to be the club’s number one heading into the new season - despite the arrival of Brighton’s Robert Sanchez - having successfully wrestled the starting spot from Edouard Mendy last term.
