Chelsea have agreed a deal with Ajax to send Bertrand Traore on a season-long loan as they look to fill the gap left by Arkadiusz Milik, who has left to join Napoli.
Antonio Conte want’s to make sure the striker gains regular first-team football with reports now suggesting that he is also making way for former Blue Romelu Lukaku, who is on the Italian’s hit list this summer.
However, Everton are reluctant to let the Belgium international leave and have now slapped a £65m ($84.2m) price-tag on the forward.
Traore’s loan departure could possibly hand a lifeline to Loic Remy, with the Blues no closer in their attempts to sign another big-name striker.
