The Blues are set to announce their first signing of the summer in the form of AS Monaco's Tiemoue Bakayako.

Bakayoko is ready to sign a five-year contract with the Premier League champions and this move could signal the end of Nemanja Matic's stint with Chelsea.
Arsenal ready to sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
In order to reduce the club's wage bill, Arsenal have decided to offload as many as eight first-team players this summer. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is one of them and Independent reports that the Gunners are ready to part ways with the winger. Jurgen Klopp is said to be a big fan of the former Southampton man and is keen on using him as Liverpool's main option from the bench. The Englishman could go for £23 million seeing as he has just one year remaining on his current deal.
Tottenham Hotspur close to signing German starlet
Schalke midfielder Max Meyer has agreed in principle to join Spurs this summer. The Sun reports that a £17.1 million bid will be enough for the Lilywhites to prise the youngster away from Germany. Pochettino was close to signing him last summer but Schalke were not keen on selling their prized asset.
