Transfer gossip: Telegraph say Saints could try to land Ake

With the transfer window having closed, there is already speculation about who Chelsea might sign when it re-opens in the summer.

The Daily Mirror say the Blues are planning a £100m spending spree and will target Celtic’s former Fulham forward Moussa Dembele, Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata and Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk.

Morata is again touted as a possible replacement for Diego Costa amid speculation that the Chelsea striker could move to China.

The Daily Telegraph also say those three will be targeted – and suggest Southampton could try to land Nathan Ake.

The Telegraph say the Saints are monitoring Ake’s situation and could look to sign him in an exchange deal if Chelsea come in for Van Dijk.

The Daily Mail also tip Chelsea to move for Dembele, Morata and Van Dijk – and claim the club will target five signings this summer.

Meanwhile, The Sun say Chelsea are monitoring Marseille’s 19-year-old midfielder Maxime Lopez.

And the Daily Express have picked up on reports in Italy claiming that England goalkeeper Joe Hart, currently on loan at Torino from Manchester City, has met with Chelsea officials to discuss a possible summer move.
