Chelsea and Tottenham are already up and running in the summer transfer window, and business is only likely to ramp up from here. With Euro 2024 and Copa América now over and done with, players – and indeed money – are expected to change hands at a much quicker rate.
The Blues will be prioritising a striker over the coming weeks, while Spurs seem to be concentrating their efforts on an attacking midfielder who can also play out wide. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding both clubs.
There were reports earlier this week claiming that Chelsea were set to make a fresh offer for Victor Osimhen, but RMC Sport go one further in claiming a bid has already been made by the Blues, and that the striker has two options currently on the table.

It’s claimed Osimhen currently has offers from both Chelsea and a club in Saudi Arabia. Osimhen previously said he would make a decision over his future this summer, while Napoli are said to have dropped their asking price to around £84million.
Gallagher twist
There could be a plot twist in the future of Conor Gallagher, with the midfielder having been heavily linked with an exit this summer. Gallagher was tipped to be sacrificed due to the huge profit he could give the Blues when it comes to PSR, but with sales aplenty already sanctioned, the midfielder could now be set for a stay.
CaughtOffside say talks are ongoing between Chelsea and Gallagher over a new contract, with the midfielder out of contract next summer. Gallagher will now be on holiday after Euro 2024, due to return later this summer, but his representative is reportedly in talks with the club.
The midfielder has been linked with Tottenham and Atletico Madrid this summer. When asked during Euro 2024 what might happen, Gallagher said: “I’m a Chelsea player right now and I’m just thinking about England and the tournament. It’s not difficult. I’m away with England and I couldn’t be happier with the position I’m in.
“I’ve just been focusing on England. This is the most important thing right now for me and the country. I’m hoping I can help the team more on the pitch in this tournament.”
Eze latest
Transfer ‘insider’ Fabrizio Romano has been speaking about Tottenham’s reported pursuit of Crystal Palace and England star Eberechi Eze. He told GiveMeSport: “For Eze, for sure, he’s one of the players they have on the list. For sure, they appreciate the player, but the real issue is about the release clause, with the main part of the clause being paid in one solution immediately to Crystal Palace.
“That’s why it’s not kind of an easy deal on the club side. We know the clauses at Palace are always kind of complicated. We also saw that with Michael Olise in the last year. But Eze, for sure, is a player on Tottenham’s list. Let’s see if they will be able to make it happen.”
