- Frankfurt value Ekitike at around €100 million (£83.9 million), which could complicate the transfer
- Securing Champions League football for 2025/26 has improved Chelsea’s PSR outlook and expanded their summer budget
- Chelsea’s attacking options remain thin as Nicolas Jackson faces suspension and 18-year-old Marc Guiu continues his development
- Sporting’s Viktor Gyökeres and Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap are also under consideration, although Delap is tipped to join Manchester United
