A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…
The Daily Star claim Manchester United are planning a £45m move for Eden Hazard.
There has been much speculation that Hazard could leave Chelsea this month, with Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain reported to be keen to sign him.
The Star say United have turned to Hazard after being told they have no chance of signing Gareth Bale from Real.
The newspaper quotes a source as saying: “The club (United) has to be realistic and realise that signing Gareth Bale or Cristiano Ronaldo remains a long shot, which means alternative targets come into the equation.
“Eden Hazard is certainly one of those and the type of player United need if they want to start winning trophies again.”
The Sun say Chelsea will make a move for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain if Hazard leaves.
It is claimed that the England international wants a new challenge because of his lack of first-team starts at Arsenal.
The Sun also suggest Chelsea will face competition from Barcelona if they want to sign Everton defender John Stones.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that Chelsea youngster Charly Musonda is set to be loaned out by the club.
The Mail also say Chelsea are tracking Xavi Simons, a 12-year-old who is currently on Barcelona’s books.
And reports in Turkey suggest Papy Djilobodji – who has played one minute in a Chelsea shirt – is wanted by Besiktas.
