Chelsea suffer double transfer blow

Chelsea look unlikely to secure the services of two of their main targets this summer.

The Blues were believed to be keen on acquiring the signature of Atletico Madrid duo of Antoine Griezmann and Koke for a combined fee of around £70m during the summer transfer window.

However, it is now believed that the Basque outfit will offer new deals to the midfield pairing, thereby raising their combined release clause to £100m.

Chelsea are understood to have a transfer kitty of around £75m to spend for the summer.
