The transfer window is officially open and Chelsea are expected to be busy with incoming and outgoings.

Chelsea have confirmed the sale of highly-rated goalkeeper  Kai Crampton to Bournemouth.

The Blues are known for nurturing young talent, who go on to make a name for themselves elsewhere, and Crampton will be keen to follow that path.

The 18-year-old is a highly rated Cobham academy graduate and has represented England at U-15, and U-17 level.

He has already played senior football, for Isthmian League side Concord Rangers, during a short-term loan last season and was part of the Blues side who won the Under-17 Premier League Cup Final.

“We wish Kai all the best as he embarks on the next chapter of his career,” Chelsea’s statement read.

Meanwhile, the Blues remain open to offers for Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix this month as both players have failed to hold down a regular spot under Enzo Maresca.

Accodring to reports, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are keen on signing Nkunku and Chelsea will not stand in the way if an acceptable offer is made.
