Chelsea have received a bid from Como for defender Trevoh Chalobah, a move that could reshape their back line as the London side looks to add depth before the deadline.
Everton are reportedly on the brink of securing striker Liam Delap from Chelsea, a transfer that would bolster their attacking options and provide a fresh outlet for the Merseyside club.
