Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Thursday, November 19.

The summer transfer window has now closed, with Chelsea among the busiest clubs and biggest spenders in world football.

After two windows without signing a single player, the Blues made up for lost time by splashing well over £200m on the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva. Attention will now switch to the January window and whether Chelsea will invest heavily again.

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

Thursday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:


Jorginho agent hints at Chelsea exit

The agent of Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has admitted that the Italy international could push for an exit from Stamford Bridge depending on Maurizio Sarri's next career move.

Sarri and Jorginho worked together at Napoli before the duo made the switch to the English capital, although Sarri soon changed allegiances to Juventus in 2019 before being sacked earlier this year.

The ex-Chelsea boss is yet to take on his next managerial role, but Jorginho's agent Joao Santos has confirmed that his client would be open to a return to Italy if Sarri finds another job in the dugout there.

Speaking to Calciomercato, Santos said: "He's very happy with Frank Lampard and Chelsea can do even better than last season.

"Almost all the Italy players are in Serie A, as it's an important league, but his journey took him to London. If Maurizio Sarri had remained, perhaps he'd have joined Juventus.

"Jorginho has a personal and professional bond with the coach that is very strong. We're waiting to see where Sarri goes, and if it's a big club in Italy, Jorginho could follow him."

Jorginho already has 11 appearances to his name in a Chelsea shirt this season, but the 28-year-old was named on the bench for the Blues' Premier League wins over Burnley and Sheffield United before the international break.



Report: Kepa Arrizabalaga to accept loan exit and pay cut

Kepa Arrizabalaga is reportedly willing to accept a loan exit from Chelsea and a substantial hit on his £150,000-a-week wages in order to revive his career.

The 26-year-old has endured a torrid time of things in his two years at Stamford Bridge and now finds himself behind Edouard Mendy in the pecking order.

Kepa's poor form at club level has also effected his international prospects with Spain, having become third choice to Unai Simon and David de Gea.

According to The Sun, the Spanish keeper has now acknowledged that he needs to find a new club in January if he is to win back his place for La Roja.

La Liga side Valencia have previously been tipped to offer Kepa a temporary route away from Chelsea.
