A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea, QPR and Fulham…
Chelsea youngster Nathaniel Chalobah has been tipped to join Napoli.
The midfielder has been seen in Naples and the Daily Mail reports that he is set to move there on loan.
And the Italian media continue to suggest that Chelsea will look to complete a deal to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus before the transfer window closes.
The Daily Star, citing a claim by an Italian journalist, suggest Chelsea will pay £87.5m in order to land the France international.
Inevitably there is speculation over the futures of various QPR players ahead of Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
The Daily Mirror claim Rangers are ‘bracing themselves for a fire sale’, with West Ham supposedly still keen to sign keeper Rob Green and West Brom tipped to try to push through a deal for Matty Phillips.
The Mirror also say Swansea have been sounded out about signing Junior Hoilett as Rangers look to reduce their wage bill.
As for Charlie Austin, the Mirror reckon Bournemouth will make pre-deadline move for the R’s striker but will face competition from Crystal Palace.
Eagles boss Alan Pardew would apparently have to offload players before he could go for Austin.
On Sunday bookmakers cut the odds on Austin signing for Manchester United, prompting the Star to suggest he could be on his way to Old Trafford.
The Star also claim Austin earns £85,000 a week at QPR and that his wage demands have put off potential buyers.
Meanwhile, QPR want Middlesbrough’s Albert Adomah, the Northern Echo believe.
Boro would apparently be willing to sell the Ghana international for around £4m but would also consider a season-long loan deal.
And French media reports claim Fulham have rejected an offer from Genoa for Moussa Dembele and that Marseille are interested in the teenage striker.
