Transfer Deadline Day latest: Updates as Chelsea try to sign Osimhen plus Toney updates

There may be excitement about a potential deal for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, or another striker if that fails to materialise, but outgoings are also key for Chelsea.

Arsenal have been offered winger Raheem Sterling but he can’t leave until issues around a pay-out for losing some of his projected earnings while on over £300,000-a-week will be key.

If all bonuses are met, his side believe they are owed a staggering £70m, which would have to be made up, or a loss negotiated between him, the buying club and Chelsea.

There appears to be little interest in England full-back Ben Chilwell at this stage, with a move to either Manchester United or Brentford unlikely.

There has been significant interest in defender Trevoh Chalobah, but his wages have put clubs off amid reported interest from Atalanta.

Reports in France suggest Chelsea will sell Brazillian striker Deivid Washington for £17.7m to partner club Strasbourg, while Venezia are in talks to sign defender Zak Sturge from Chelsea’s Under-21s.

There is loan and permanent transfer interest in Carney Chukwuemeka, Angelo Gabriel, Harvey Vale, Alex Matos and Billy Gee, and Burton Albion hope to complete a season-long loan move for striker Ronnie Stutter.
