Stamford Bridge side look to bring in two big-name additions in coming days.
Chelsea are confident of completing deals to bring in Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and Everton defender John Stones.
The Independent state that the Blues are in contact with Serie A side Juventus over their ongoing interest in £70m rated midfielder Pogba.
Jose Mourinho is convinced he can lure the former Man United man away from Turin and back to the Premier League and is especially keen to get a deal done following a down-turn in form shown by current central-midfield pairing Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas.
Chelsea are ready to make a final £40m offer for Everton defender John Stones according to the Guardian, this coming after the 21-year-old handed in a transfer request.
