Chelsea 'discuss late loan move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez but need to sell fringe players such as Danny Drinkwater and Ross Barkley first' to secure move for Spaniard

Chelsea are contemplating a late loan move in the transfer window for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez but need to offload players first, according to reports.

The Blues made a statement regarding their Premier League title intentions by spending £98million on Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku, who scored on his second Chelsea debut against Arsenal on Sunday.

Sportsmail revealed this week that Chelsea are monitoring Saul's situation who has suffered a tumultuous transfer window in Spain, after being considered by Atleti in a loan swap deal with Barcelona's Antoine Griezmann earlier this summer.
