Sources: Chelsea receive 'encouragement' from Fermin Lopez

Story could move fast

The only really major incoming we might be looking at on this transfer deadline day is Fermin Lopez from Barcelona, unless of course we have some surprises in the pipeline, which is absolutely possible still.

We’ve heard over the last two days that Chelsea have still been working on a deal to sign Lopez, and it’s something that could still move fast today. And of course, with a 7pm deadline tonight to submit a deal sheet for new players, it will have to move fast.

Enzo Maresca is a big fan of Lopez and Chelsea have been pushing to try and bring him in.
