Chelsea has become increasingly confident that they will sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal and also want to speak to Everton about Ross Barkley.

Danny Drinkwater of Leicester City could also join the pair with Chelsea before Thursday's deadline.

Arsenal are not prepared to lose all of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mesut Özil and Alexis Sánchez under freedom of contract next summer.

Barkley is also receiving interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
