Gossip: Blues linked with Morat, Remy exit expected, Musonda said to have snubbed QPR

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving the area’s clubs…

Alvaro Morat is the latest striker to be linked with Chelsea, while Leicester are widely tipped to sign Loic Remy.

An Italian transfer-gossip website has claimed that the Blues plan to move for Juventus’ Morat, 23, in the summer.

The Daily Star have picked up on this and claim Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham also want him.

Leicester are reported to be on the verge of landing Remy, who has been unable to establish himself as a first-team regular at Stamford Bridge since being signed from QPR in 2013.

The Sun say Leicester initially made an approach to take him on loan and are now set to sign him in a club-record £11.5m deal after being being told Chelsea were only interested in a permanent transfer.

There continues to be speculation that Diego Costa could also be on his way out of the Bridge, with reports in his native Spain suggesting he is wanted by his former club Atletico Madrid.

The Sun say Atletico have offered forward Jackson Martinez in exchange but the newspaper believes Chelsea are unlikely to agree to the deal.

And the Daily Mail claim QPR wanted Chelsea youngster Charly Musonda, who has agreed a loan move to Real Betis.
