Transfer gossip: Chelsea linked with Real Madrid youngster

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Chelsea are trying to sign teenage forward Borja Mayoral from Real Madrid, the Sunday People claim.

The Spanish club are reportedly planning to take up an option to extend the 18-year-old’s contract because they fear he will be poached.

The People say this will be a disappointment for Chelsea, who have apparently been looking to capture him.

Meanwhile, the Daily Star Sunday reports that Newcastle are still trying to sign Loic Remy on loan from Chelsea despite Leicester appearing to be close to an £11.5m deal to buy the French striker.

Antoine Griezmann has yet again been linked with Chelsea, this time by the Mail on Sunday, which suggests the Blues will move for the Atletico Madrid midfielder if Eden Hazard leaves Stamford Bridge,

And the Sunday Mirror say Manchester City have moved ahead of Chelsea in a race to eventually sign Everton’s England defender John Stones.
