Chelsea have reached a breakthrough in their bid to sign Edin Dzeko and Emerson Palmieri from AS Roma.
The Blues have been looking for an attacker all through this month and they have not been so lucky.
Andy Carroll, Peter Crouch, and Ashley Barnes have all been touted for moves to Stamford Bridge, but they have settled for the Bosnian.
Edin Dzeko was initially not keen on returning to the Premier League as he knows he would have to play second fiddle to Alvaro Morata.
However, Antonio Conte has assured the former Manchester City attacker that he would play a major role for them this season.
Emerson Palmieri is being brought in as a back up to Marcos Alonso.
The Brazilian has played only once for Roma this season, but Conte believes he can thrive in the EPL.
His move has opened the door for Kennedy to move to Newcastle, as Rafael Benitez remains keen on the young Brazilian.
These transfers are expected to expected to be the last of a busy window for Chelsea who have also signed Ross Barkley from Everton this month.
