Chelsea news and transfers LIVE: Rudiger talks, Kounde move decision, Dembele ‘offer’

Hello and welcome to today’s live Chelsea blog on football.london.

The Blues are back in action tomorrow evening as they travel to Luton Town in the FA Cup fifth round as Thomas Tuchel looks for an immediate bounce-back from his side after their penalty shootout to Liverpool over the weekend.

There is not much time for Tuchel to prepare his side after facing Liverpool on Sunday, but the German coach is expected to make a host of changes for the FA Cup tie.

One of the many things to come from Sunday’s defeat is plenty of Chelsea supporters speaking on social media about their side’s need to bring new players in during the summer transfer window.

The Blues continue to be linked with a host of new players, with the end of the season clearly on the club’s agenda despite plenty of time being left of this campaign.

So, with all of this being said, keep today’s live blog, located below, locked for the very latest updates on Chelsea.
