Chelsea's chances of signing forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Anthony Gordon before the end of the summer transfer window have been rated as 'unlikely'.
The Blues have been heavily linked with Barcelona striker Aubameyang and Everton forward Gordon ahead of the Premier League transfer deadline on Thursday.
But according to the Athletic, Thomas Tuchel's side are 'having second thoughts' over a move for the Gabonese star, while their prospects of completing a move for 21-year-old Gordon are 'slim'.

Everton and Chelsea are said to be 'substantially' apart on their valuations of Anthony Gordon
Chelsea made a £15m bid to sign Aubameyang earlier this month, but with no agreement yet on a fee with the club or personal terms with the player, they could walk away from a deal. His age - 33 - and high wages are thought to be a concern.
The 'substantial gap in valuation' between Everton and Chelsea for youngster Gordon is believed to be the reason why the move is increasingly unlikely as the time left before the deadline ticks down.
Elsewhere, midfielder Conor Gallagher and Christian Pulisic are reportedly expected to stay at Stamford Bridge.

American attacking midfielder Christian Pulisic is expected to stay at Stamford Bridge
Gallagher is wanted on loan by several Premier League clubs, while Crystal Palace - where he enjoyed an impressive temporary spell last season - have reportedly made a £27million bid. Pulisic has been linked with a move away.
Striker Armando Broja, also linked with a move away amid Newcastle and Everton interest, is said to be highly rated by club chiefs and is likely to remain in west London.
Central midfielder Billy Gilmour is reportedly wanted by Brighton, but Chelsea would rather loan him out for a season to a top-flight side rather than sell him this summer.
