As Chelsea close in on a deal for Raheem Sterling, the pesky scamps are also looking to derail another of the summer’s most talked-about moves by nabbing Frenkie de Jong from under Manchester United’s noses. Chelsea are prepared to offer Barcelona César Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso plus £51m in readies for the Dutch international, according to the Spanish outlet Sport.
Arsenal continue to keep the Mill a-churnin’ with reports now linking them with Bayer Leverkusen’s sought-after Moussa Diaby. The winger has also been a target for Newcastle but Arsenal, having likely missed out on Raphinha of Leeds, are now said to be keen to muscle in on the Diaby action. Another winger on the Gunners’ radar is Lille’s Kosovo international Edon Zhegrova; Arsenal have apparently bid £6m for the 23-year-old. Mikel Arteta also has his eye on Benfica’s 26-year-old Spanish left-back Álex Grimaldo.
