Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Monday, October 5.

Transfer deadline day is here, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Chelsea eye possible last-minute reinforcements.

The Blues failed to bring in a single player during the January window, despite seeing their transfer ban cut short by FIFA, but have already been busy this summer.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Monday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:


Chelsea eye Arsenal target Thomas Partey as Declan Rice alternative?

Chelsea have reportedly identified Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey as a possible alternative to Declan Rice.

The Blues are understood to be willing to do one more deal in their big-spending summer and regard West Ham United's Rice as their top target.

However, the Hammers are demanding more than £80m for the England international, forcing Chelsea to consider other options.

The Guardian reports that Thomas is one of the names on their shortlist, despite heavy speculation linking him with a move to Arsenal.

The Gunners are keen to sign either Thomas or Houssem Aouar before Monday's deadline, but have so far been unable to agree a fee for either midfielder.

Thomas is available for £45m due to a release clause in his contract, making him a cheaper option for Chelsea than Rice.



Hansi Flick confirms Bayern Munich interest in Callum Hudson-Odoi

Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick has confirmed that the club are interested in signing Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea.

The German champions were strongly linked with a move for the winger last summer and have now revived their interest after Chelsea brought in even more competition for attacking places.

Bayern have reportedly already seen a £70m approach rejected by the Blues, but Flick has confirmed that they are still looking to push through a deal before Monday's deadline.

"He is one of the greatest talents in his position therefore it is legitimate that we at Bayern Munich deal with him," Flick told reporters.

Bayern are thought to want an initial loan deal for the 19-year-old, with the option to make the move permanent next year.

Hudson-Odoi's contract does not expire until 2024, having signed a new deal after Chelsea resisted Bayern's overtures last summer.
