Chelsea transfer news: Kylian Mbappe appeared to be named by a Chelsea star in the trophy celebrations for the pre-season US Summer Series.

During the jubilant scenes from the players, one thing that may have been noticed if listened to carefully is the name dropping of Mbappe.
It seemingly poked fun at recent links between the Blues and the French forward, who continues to be touted with an exit from PSG this summer. The 24-year-old hasn't triggered a one-year extension on his contract with the club, which means he has just 12-months remaining on his current deal.
