Chelsea have reportedly turned their main attention to signing Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku this summer, cooling their interest in Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata as a result.
Sanchez earlier this week insisted that he is happy in London but expressed his desire to be at a club which challenges for trophies, fuelling speculation that he could be open to a move to Chelsea before he enters the final year of his Arsenal contract.
Lukaku, meanwhile, joined Everton from Chelsea in 2014 and has since established himself as one of the Premier League's top strikers, leading the division's scoring charts with 21 goals this season.
Morata is reportedly keen on a move to Chelsea - who failed in a bid for the striker last summer - while Real Madrid were hopeful of the Londoners reigniting their interest in order to use him as a makeweight in any attempts to sign Eden Hazard.
However, The Telegraph reports that Antonio Conte has now switched his priorities and wants to make Sanchez and Lukaku his main transfer targets.
Uncertainty surrounds the futures of both players due to their reluctance to sign new contracts at their respective clubs and, while Arsenal and Everton would not want to sell to a Premier League rival, Chelsea are confident that they can entice the players to Stamford Bridge.
Any deals could depend on the future of Diego Costa, though, with the Spain international having refused to rule out the possibility of leaving Chelsea.
