Chelsea join Liverpool and Arsenal in race to sign England keeper – report

Chelsea are keen on Birmingham City goalkeeper Jack Butland, according to the Sunday People.

It is claimed the England international has told friends he expects to leave St Andrews at the end of the season, with Chelsea reported to be interested along with Liverpool and Arsenal.

Fulham were previously touted as the favourites to sign Butland for £4m and would apparently consider loaning him back to the Championship club.

There is more speculation about Lucas Piazon’s long-term future following his loan move from Chelsea to Malaga.

Piazon will spend the rest of the season with the Spanish club, whose 20-year-old playmaker Isco is reported to be wanted by Chelsea.

That prompted recent suggestions that the Blues’ decision to let Malaga have Piazon was a tactical move in their apparent pursuit of their target.

And the People say Malaga will ask for cash-plus-player deal involving Isco, with Piazon joining them on a permanent basis.

The Mail on Sunday say Chelsea star Frank Lampard’s England future will be in doubt if he chooses move to LA Galaxy, while the People claim he is in talks with AC Milan.

David Moyes is again linked with the manager’s job at Stamford Bridge.

The Sunday Telegraph believe Chelsea are monitoring whether Moyes signs new contract at Everton.

Meanwhile, QPR will listen to offers for keepers Julio Cesar and Robert Green in order to cut their huge wage bill, according to the Sunday Mirror.

Nottingham Forest are reported to be interested in signing Green, who is currently being kept out of the Rangers side by Cesar.

It is claimed QPR only want to sell one of them but will offload whichever one they are able to.

And Barnsley are willing to sell John Stones but want him back on loan, according to The Sun on Sunday.

Fulham are reported to be keen on the 18-year-old right-back along with Southampton and Wigan.

  • Roman Abramovic should cool down the way he handle things @ stamford bridge, take a case study of former barca manager 'PEP GARDIOLA' that was abrutly sent to sabatical leave. Who sent him on that compulsory leave? Wake up Roman, it was d unexpected defeat & damages your great team handed to barca that forced him to exile. Now, u started pursuing him as wt millions of pounds. Where are your own hero's that forced this man to exile? If u need restructurig of d club ok no problem but always have it at mind that football at some stage especially in top competitions are men's game and not boyz game as we all can see during CL When we were being defeated by purposeful, determined & matured Juventus

  • Well Chelsea has the best goal keep in La Liga on loan at La Liga so why Chelsea be going for another goalie?
