- According to Turkish outlet Haber 365, Chelsea have struck an agreement with Trabzonspor to sign Cakir.
- Lampard reportedly asked technical advisor and Chelsea legend Petr Cech to help him find a new goalkeeper alongside Marina Granovskaia.
- The manager trusts his old teammate's judgement due to Cech having spent 11 memorable years in front of goal for the former Champions League winners.
- The report states that the clubs have agreed on a fee of £29.5m, which will see Cakir become the Blues No.1 next season.
- Chelsea will look to offload Kepa and there is already interest from Valencia and Sevilla - a loan deal is likelier and would mean Chelsea have to foot the bill for some of his wages.
- According to Transfermarkt, Cakir has registered 25 top-flight games this season and has conceded 27 goals, registering 4 clean sheets. Thanks to his exploits in goal, Trabzonspor are sitting top of the Turkish Super Lig at 53 points.
