The transfer window closes now this coming Friday so there is only a matter of days to get deals done.
Chelsea are expected to be one of the busier clubs as they look to tie up a few late deals, outgoings and even potentially one or two more arrivals.
But one will hopefully be the problematic Romelu Lukaku and his proposed move to Roma back in Serie A. The striker is going through Italian clubs like no tomorrow. First it was a return to Inter Milan on the cards, then Juventus, but neither of those moves came to fruition. So now it is Roma who are trying to sign him and they want the deal done by today, according to the reliable Fabrizio Romano over night.
He says negotiations took place last night and Roma are now really pushing to get it sealed.

Chelsea fans will be relieved when he is finally out of their club.
