David Moyes’ side have already been credited as potential suitors for four other Chelsea players in recent weeks, including Emerson, Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja and Ross Barkley.

Out of the five in total, it’s felt that Emerson is the likeliest to seal a move to the London Stadium, with formal talks over a transfer now said to be progressing after initial discussions collapsed due to wages and agent fees.

In terms of Loftus-Cheek, he started for Chelsea in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham last weekend, so he isn’t exactly a player that manager Thomas Tuchel is keen to get rid of.

It remains to be seen whether any of these players will make the move across London before the transfer window closes.
