Chelsea prepare Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain offer
05:30: Chelsea are reportedly ready to splash the cash on their top three targets, starting with a bid for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Antonio Conte has been vocal about his displeasure with the size of his Chelsea squad and his desperate to add more bodies.
Chelsea missed out on Romelu Lukaku to rivals Manchester United while Jose Mourinho’s side also nabbed Nemanja Matic from Stamford Bridge.
But the Daily Mirror claim Roman Abramovich is ready to back Conte in the remaining weeks of the transfer window.
The Blues have been linked with a move for Arsenal star Oxlade-Chamberlain recently but it is said Chelsea are now ready to offer £35m for the England international.
