Chelsea transfer round-up: Spurs 'interest' in Kurt Zouma as Marseille make striker move
Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea are looking in good shape ahead of the new season.
A 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener signalled their intentions for the title.
The £97.5million addition of Romelu Lukaku is their only major incoming as the exit door remains the busiest end of Stamford Bridge.
However, the Blues' rumour mill is still whizzing round with talk of potential signings as Tuchel aims to make sure the final two weeks of the transfer window are prosperous in one respect or another.
Tammy Abraham's £34m departure to Roma proved that the German manager is prepared to be ruthless, with plenty of other players potentially waving goodbye if they are not suited to his uncompromising style.
Batshuayi leaves on loan
Michy Batshuayi has joined Besiktas on a season-long loan after extending his Chelsea contract until 2023.
The Belgian heads to Turkey for the 2020-21 campaign and could make his debut away at Gaziantep on Saturday evening.
Batshuayi was signed from Marseille in the summer of 2016 and has scored 25 goals in 77 appearances for the Blues.
Struggling for minutes with the likes of Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud in his way, loans with Palace, Borussia Dortmund and Valencia have rendered his time at Stamford Bridge a frustrating one despite collecting a Premier League and FA Cup winners medal.
Spurs interest in Zouma
Kurt Zouma is attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to Sky Sports.
They report that the centre-back's preference is to stay in London amid interest from West Ham.
It is believed the 26-year-old's sale would fund a move for Sevilla's Jules Kounde.
Zouma played just over an hour in Chelsea's UEFA Super Cup win over penalties as the Blues beat Villarreal on penalties, but spent the weekend win on the bench.
