Transfer gossip: Chelsea linked with Everton duo
Some of the recent transfer speculation involving Chelsea.
Chelsea are weighing up a summer bid to sign Everton duo Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley in a deal that could be worth up to £100m, the Telegraph say.
It comes after former Chelsea striker Lukaku rejected a new contract at Goodison Park, where England international Barkley will have just 12 months remaining on his contract this summer if he does not sign a new deal.
Chelsea had offers for Lukaku rejected by Everton last summer and have inevitably been tipped to move for him again, while Barkley continues to be linked with a potential move to Stamford Bridge.
The Daily Mirror say Chelsea are confident of re-signing Lukaku, while The Sun say the Blues and Manchester United are preparing bids for him and that there is also interest from Juventus and Real Madrid.
Galatasaray linked with Abraham
The Sun have picked up on reports in Turkey that Chelsea youngster Tammy Abraham is wanted by Galatasaray.
The 19-year-old striker has impressed this season while on loan at Championship side Bristol City.
And it is claimed that Galatasaray coach Igor Tudor – a former Juventus team-mate of Antonio Conte – could persuade the Blues boss to loan him Abraham next season.
The Sun say Chelsea would want assurances that Abraham’s development would be improved were he to make the move.
Cherries plan Ake bid, Mail say
Bournemouth have again been tipped to move for Chelsea’s Nathan Ake in the summer.
The Daily Mail say the Cherries are planning to make an offer for the 22-year-old, who impressed while on loan with them during the first half of the season.
He was recalled by the Blues but has not featured in a Premier League match since and there continues to be speculation that he could be sold at the end of the campaign.
Chelsea make offer for Coman – Telefoot
Chelsea have made made an offer for French forward Kingsley Coman, French television has reported.
Telefoot say Chelsea and Manchester City have made offers for the 20-year-old, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Juventus.
Bayern reportedly have the option of signing him at the end of the season and reports have indicated that the German club plan to do so.
However, it is claimed that the two Premier League clubs are also looking to sign Coman, who can play on the wing or through the middle.
Wolves’ Costa linked
Chelsea want Wolves winger Helder Costa, The Sun claimed earlier this week.
The newspaper claim Arsenal also want the 23-year-old, who is apparently rated at £20m.
Blues boss Antonio Conte is said to have been impressed by Costa when his side played Wolves in the FA Cup.
The Sun reckon scouts from both Premier League clubs have been tracking him.
Blues tipped to move for young duo
Chelsea are hoping to tie up deals to sign youngsters Billy Gilmour and Daishawn Redan, the Mirror have reported.
Glasgow Rangers’ 15-year-old midfielder Gilmour has been linked with Chelsea in recent months, while 16-year-old striker Redan (pictured in Dutch orange above) is a Netherlands Under-17 international currently with Ajax.
A number of other top European clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, are said to be keen on both players.
