A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea and QPR…
Chelsea are one of a number of clubs being linked with West Ham United teenager Reece Oxford.
The Sun claim Manchester City are watching the 17-year-old on regular basis but suggests the Blues, Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested in the centre-half.
The Daily Telegraph picks up on rumours from the European media linking Chelsea with Borussia Dortmund’s Ilkay Gundogan, Valencia defender Aymen Abdennour and Dinamo Zagreb keeper Adrian Semper.
Reports in Spain suggest Dortmund may use midfielder Gundogan as part of a swap deal for Ramires, while the French press claim the Blues retain an interest in Abdennour, who left Monaco for Valencia in the summer.
The Telegraph also quotes Dinamo manager Zoran Mamic as saying the Blues had representatives in Zagreb to table an offer for Semper.
Chelsea players apparently believe Corinthians striker Alexandre Pato could still make a move to Stamford Bridge.
The Evening Standard claims the club have met with the Brazilian’s representative.
Metro suggests that Southampton striker Graziano Pelle could be allowed to join Chelsea, following the Saints’ signing of QPR striker Charlie Austin.
Once again, Blues striker Diego Costa is being tipped for a return to Atletico Madrid by the Spanish press, which also claims Radamel Falcao will be heading to a Major League Soccer club in the US.
The Derbyshire Telegraph reckon Burton Albion’s Nasser El Khayati is a potential replacement for Austin at QPR.
It is claimed that El Khayati, a key player for Burton during Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s time in charge of the Brewers, is attracting interest from a number of clubs.
Birmingham City are also said to be interested in the 26-year-old, who has scored eight goals this season.
