Trevoh Chalobah appears to be close to a move to Italy, but there's a chance he could yet be part of a swap deal.
Chalobah's agents are in Milan right now speaking to Inter about personal terms for a transfer that's clearly pretty advanced.
However, there has been no confirmation on a fee being agreed, indicating that there's still some way to go before a deal is finalized.
As a result, there's still a chance for an interesting Premier League swap deal to come to fruition.
The Blues are being heavily linked with Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix, with Chalobah potentially going the other way in a potential deal.
Chalobah had a successful six-month stint on loan at Palace two years ago, so the club knows exactly what they're getting in terms of his abilities and experience.
He brings a wealth of Premier League and European experience to the table, and is considered a super reliable and top-class professional at just 26 years old.
Ultimately, it could come down to Chalobah himself and what he prefers, with an adventure in Italy with Inter appearing to be more appealing than the option of staying in the Premier League.
Things could get very interesting in the next few days if a move to either Inter or Palace starts to gain momentum.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are considering selling a first-team regular to the Premier League to generate extra funds for this summer's transfer window.
Additionally, Leandro Trossard's contract has reached its final 12 months, and he could leave Arsenal this summer as a result.
