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

A number of clubs have been linked with the Hungary international ahead of the 2020-21 season, with Chelsea and Arsenal both said to be keen to bring him to the Premier League.

"There is a real honesty about how we work and how we can speak to each other," Lampard told reporters. "I trust that he's been a winner and he knows what it takes to win and I think we have something in common over how we have a real desire to get to that."
