Premier League star pushing for Chelsea transfer, rejects new contract

Chelsea have a busy week ahead of them in the final days of the summer transfer window, as Maurizio Sarri looks to rejuvenate his squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

The Blues have signed Italy international Jorginho as their only major acquisition so far and are looking to bolster their options in the wide areas, amidst continued speculation that Eden Hazard and Willian could be lured away from Stamford Bridge.

Reports from The Mirror provide Chelsea with a boost in this aspect, as they state Wilfried Zaha has rejected a new contract at Crystal Palace as he intends to seal a move across London before the window shuts on Thursday.

The former Manchester United man is eyeing a big-money move and wants to remain down south following his struggles previously at Old Trafford, which increase the likelihood of a move occurring to join Chelsea.

However, Crystal Palace are determined to hold onto their prized asset unless they receive and irresistible offer.
