Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has reportedly decided to launch offers for both Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ross Barkley.
The Italian has already spent over £100m in the transfer market this summer, but he remains in the hunt for players who can play at wing-back and in central midfield.
Competition is required for both Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses, while Nemanja Matic is likely to leave Stamford Bridge before the end of August.
According to The Sun, that will see offers made for Arsenal wideman Oxlade-Chamberlain and Everton playmaker Barkley, players who will also increase Chelsea's domestic quota.
The pair have just 12 months remaining on their contracts at their respective clubs, and with both players allegedly indicating that they are ready for new challenges, Chelsea represent a realistic option.
It has been suggested that the Premier League champions will look to sign the pair for a combined fee of £50m.
