Chelsea are reportedly prepared to make at least two high-profile signings during the next transfer window.
At a time when the majority of clubs are having to make cutbacks due to the coronavirus pandemic, Chelsea have funds available after a year without adding a fresh face to their squad.
According to The Athletic, Roman Abramovich wants to take advantage of the situation by delivering Frank Lampard's desired transfer targets.
The report suggests that a considerable effort will be made to wrap up a deal for Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell, who would act as a replacement for either Marcos Alonso or Emerson Palmieri.
Chelsea also allegedly want to sign at least one of Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Kai Havertz, Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho or RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.
With Willian, Pedro and Michy Batshuayi all likely departures, one of that trio and already-acquired Hakim Ziyech would be regarded as stronger alternatives.
