DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN has emerged as an alternative target for Chelsea.

The Stamford Bridge club will move for the Everton striker if their bids for Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen go west – with both on the verge of moving to the Saudi Pro League.

Toffees manager Sean Dyche has already admitted that his club’s difficult financial situation means all his players are up for grabs for the right price.

Striker DCL, in the last year of his contract and with no sign of him agreeing a new deal, would be difficult for his club to hold onto.

And that could be for £20million or less – half the current value of Brentford’s England front man Toney.

Another player on Chelsea’s radar is Brighton’s Evan Ferguson.

He was strongly linked with a Stamford Bridge move last year and is yet to make an appearance under new boss Fabian Hurzeler.

Finally, Chelsea could consider a late return for Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran.

The player held talks with Blues chiefs after a £40million bid for submitted earlier this summer.

He then looked set for a move to West Ham but remains at Villa Park.

Chelsea’s late scramble comes after they appeared to miss out on both Toney and Osimhen.

Saudi side Al-Ahli have reportedly struck a £40m to sign Toney from Brentford, with the striker receiving £60m in wages.

It’s also claimed they have agreed to pay £67m for Napoli star Osimhen, who could earn £134m in the Middle East.

That would work out at a stunning £300m total package for both strikers.

But sources in Saudi claim Al-Ahli are unable to sign two attackers due to limits on foreign players in their squad.

It’s also reckoned they do not have the cash to complete both deals.

And that could yet leave the door open for Chelsea to land either one later today.

CHELSEA face some leggy nights after learning their Europa Conference League fate as they prepare for the new look competition.

The Blues are the last of the Premier League contingent to learn who they will play in Europe this season.

But unlike their English counterparts in the Champions League and Europa League, Enzo Maresca’s side will play just six games in the league phase of the third-tier European competition.

Chelsea were drawn against one team from each of the six pots, rather than the two seen in the draws of the Champions League and Europa League.

The Stamford Bridge outfit themselves were placed in pot 1 and will host Belgium side Gent from the same pot.

Elsewhere, they will host Irish side Shamrock Rovers and Noah FC from Armenia.

Despite knowing their opponents, they will not find out the date they will play each team until tomorrow.

The Conference League league phase will begin on October 3 and end on December 19.

Chelsea squeezed into the competition after edging out Swiss minnows Servette 3-2 on aggregate despite losing 2-1 in the second leg last night.

Figures from Transfermarkt have revealed that Chelsea’s estimated squad value of €1.05billion is worth almost as much as the rest of the 35 other teams in the tournament combined.

Vinnie, 59, has now revealed that he is set to return to the show and said filming commences early next year.

He told Metro: “I’m doing my documentary, then I’m doing a musical at Christmas, Only Fools And Horses.

“I rang Guy Ritchie and said, ‘What do you think?” He said, ‘Yeah, I think it’s time! We start The Gentlemen in March.”

The series, which was created by Guy Ritchie, gained a cult audience when it dropped on Netflix in March.

It starred Vinnie Jones, Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings as Theo’s character Eddie unexpectedly inherited his father’s country estate.

However, he was left unaware that it was home to an underground cannabis empire.

After being sucked into the vicious world of crime, viewers watched as Theo got a taste for it all towards the end of the series, working with Susie Glass.

Confirming its recommission, Netflix bosses revealed eight new episodes are on the way.

Filming is set to kick off next year, meaning fans will have a long wait to see what’s next for Eddie and his family.

Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings have all signed back up for the show, while Vinnie Jones’ future is in doubt.

Alongside the recommission news, Netflix shared a clip with fans showing a massive billboard depicting a cannabis joint burning.

The sign – which has been erected in London – simply says: “The Gentlemen season two, only on Netflix.”

During series one’s first month on the platform it clocked up a staggering 44 million viewers.

The Sun previously revealed how plans were in place for Guy Ritchie to write another series.
