Chelsea have re-entered the race to sign Manchester United’s top transfer target Frenkie de Jong.
The powers-that-be at Old Trafford have been courting the Barcelona playmaker for a number of months now, with the new Dutch head coach Erik ten Hag particularly keen to sign his compatriot. United reportedly had an oven-ready £71million deal on the table, but De Jong is now rumoured to prefer a move to south-west London for a chance to play Champions League football. Chelsea are also said to be pondering a deal for Barça’s former Arsenal goal poacher Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
