Transfer Talk: Chelsea drop Chalobah, Lukaku to U21s squad

The summer transfer window is open! Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals !

TOP STORY: Chelsea isolate trio ahead of moves

Trevoh Chalobah , Romelu Lukaku and Armando Broja are all training with Chelsea 's under-21 team, reports the Telegraph , with the Blues urgently trying to find the trio new clubs.

Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have both been linked with a move for 25-year-old centre-back Chalobah, while Lukaku has reportedly been lined up as Victor Osimhen 's replacement at Napoli should the Nigeria star make his much-anticipated move to Paris Saint-Germain . Albania international Broja, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham , has also been frozen out of Chelsea's first-team squad in clear sign that he is not part of new manager Enzo Maresca's plans.

The decision to isolate the trio has been brought on with the club under significant pressure to reduce its wage bill. Aaron Anselmino joined Chelsea from Boca Juniors last Thursday, becoming the Blues' eighth signing of the summer, and adding to what was already an oversized squad.

The report suggests that any further incomings -- Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion and Wolverhampton Wanderers star Pedro Neto are also believed to be on Chelsea's radar -- will only be made if the likes of Chalobah, Lukaku and Broja, among others, are first moved on.
