Transfer gossip: Caulker to pick up nearly £1m, Mirror say

Some of the latest transfer speculation in the aftermath of the window closing.

Steven Caulker will land a windfall of nearly £1m by joining Lokomotiv Moscow on loan from QPR, the Daily Mirror say.

The newspaper say Caulker will play in Russia – where the transfer window remains open – from March to the end of the season in May and will pick up a number of payments.

Caulker, 25, will reportedly be given joining fee of £500,000 and a £30,000-a-week increase on his current wages.

Blues rejected keeper deal, Telegraph say

Chelsea rejected a pre-deadline bid from Watford for Asmir Begovic, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The Blues’ second-choice goalkeeper was wanted by Bournemouth but stayed at Stamford Bridge because Chelsea were unable to bring in replacement for him.

The Telegraph say Watford also came in for Begovic in the final hours of the transfer window, offering Chelsea £10m and the Hornets’ former Tottenham keeper Heurelho Gomes.

Begovic, who wanted to leave in order to play regular first-team football, is now expected to join Bournemouth at the end of the season.

The south-coast club also made an offer for Nathan Ake ahead of the deadline.

Chelsea were unwilling to part with the young Dutchman, who was recently recalled from a season-long loan with the Cherries.

Meanwhile, reports have claimed that Chelsea wanted to sign Celtic’s former Fulham forward Moussa Dembele ahead of the deadline.
