Chelsea are on the cusp of completing two major transfers, having agreed deals to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz and Paris St Germain defender Thiago Silva, according to The Times. The Blues are set to spend more in this transfer window than any other. With Havertz all but secured on a deal that could rise to £90m (€100m), Ben Chilwell poised to join Chelsea from Leicester for around £50m (€55m), those two players and Silva are reportedly set to cost the Londoners more than £200m (€222m). Thiago is expected to decide his future early this week, the Evening Standard reports.

Everton are close to signing Napoli midfielder Allan for £31.5m (€35m), the Daily Express reports. An agreement has been reached between the two clubs, with Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti keen to reunite with 29-year-old after their time together at Napoli.
