Chelsea have received a boost in their pursuit of Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana and Fiorentina forward Federico Chiesa.
Chelsea have been continuously linked with moves for the pair in recent weeks, as Frank Lampard looks to revamp his squad ahead of his second season in charge of the club.
Onana, who joined Ajax from Barcelona in 2015, has also been linked with a return to Camp Nou, and Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as admitted the 24-year-old Cameroon international is available at the ‘right price’, though the club has yet to receive a ‘concrete offer’.
He told Algemeen Dagblad: "Andre is very important to us and of course we don’t want to lose him, but it’s true that we have an agreement from last year about the development scenario and what steps we will take if the right club comes in at the right price."
"As far as I know, no concrete offer has been made to Ajax."
Chiesa meanwhile, who has been linked with moves to Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United, and Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso admitted there is interest across Europe for the 22-year-old Italy international.
"We had a meeting before Christmas if I'm not mistaken," he told Radio Bruno Toscana.
"If he wants to go then I'm sorry, but we'd accommodate him, providing the offer is fair. We must also see what he's worth.
"[His price] may have dropped since last year. It must suit everyone, although there's a chance that he'll stay.
"I haven't offered Federico anything. There hasn't been a proposal, it's fake news. The important thing is that a player wants to stay.
"Many players have understood that Fiorentina are aiming high. I don't want to put anything in Chiesa’s mouth, he’s a very good lad.
"We have a very good relationship and I want to keep him. I want to do the right thing for Fiorentina and, if he wants to go, we'll accommodate him."
"There's Juventus, but there are also other teams in Europe."
