Man United are inching ever-close to a whopping £85million deal for Ajax star Antony, a transfer that could create a £164m domino effect for Chelsea.
Both the Red Devils and the Blues are expected to be the two busiest clubs in the Premier League for the remaining four days of this summer's transfer window. For Todd Boehly, Wesley Fofana's £70m plus switch from the East Midlands to West London is currently being finalised, with an announcement expected by Monday at the latest.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag's side are now set to follow up the impressive Casemiro signing with the coup of his Brazilian compatriot, who has been on strike over the last few days to try and force the issue with Ajax. Whilst the Amsterdam-based club didn't want to sell, the 22-year-old's actions in recent times, coupled with the prospect of receiving an Eredivisie transfer record fee for one of their players, reluctantly meant that a 'green light' was eventually given despite all the doubt.
