- On Monday several outlets reported that Chelsea have turned their attention to Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak.
- The reports suggested that the Slovenian had become the Blues' number one transfer priority on goalkeeper's position and Chelsea were willing to submit a huge player-plus-cash offer to the Spanish outfit.
- However, Tier 1 journalist Fabrizio Romano is rather categorical and concise when asked about these rumours, as he simply denies them with emojis:
- To be fair, these reports didn't seem credible in the first place, especially with other more reputable sources providing more and more updates on Chelsea's pursuit of other goalkeepers.
- First, the Athletic report that the Blues are in regular contact with Ajax shot-stopper Andre Onana.
- Also the Atheltic claim that Lampard is clearly an admirer of Dean Henderson while several rumours suggest that the Blues are lining up a summer bid for the 23-year-old.
