CHELSEA are scrambling to sort out the future of Enzo Fernandez and TEN more players before the transfer window closes. The Blues are reported to be in talks with representatives of Roma midfielder Manu Kone about a move to Stamford Bridge if Fernandez leaves.

But Fernandez is far from the only Blues star in limbo ahead of Tuesday night’s 11pm deadline. Sign up for the Football newsletter Thank you! The Chelsea recruitment team are set to be the busiest in the Premier League over the next day and a half, with the focus on trimming Xabi Alonso’s massive squad to a manageable number. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez needs to leave after being dropped from the team and replaced by new signing Emi Martinez. But reports of Spurs being interested in Sanchez feel far-fetched and Tottenham will be more concerned with preventing the Blues hijacking their £60m deal for Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye. Alonso refused to guarantee Pedro Neto would be staying at the club despite his impressive adaptation to a wing-back role. Liverpool, who are desperate for a right winger, are being linked with Neto, who has already attracted attention from Saudi Arabia. Mykhailo Mudryk will almost certainly leave Stamford Bridge on loan.

The destination for defender Aaron Anselmino and midfielder Dario Essugo was yet to be finalised, however.
