Sky Sports are reporting the Blues are interested in Celtic’s Moussa Dembele, but the Hoops won’t consider any offers under £40million.
One player maybe making the trek south from Parkhead might still be goalkeeper Craig Gordon, who was understood to be in two minds over a possible move to Stamford Bridge.
There is expected to be at least one exit from Chelsea today, with Branislav Ivanovic likely to join Zenit St Petersburg.
Cesc Fabregas, though, apparently won’t be joining West Ham. Of course he isn’t…
8:50: Wouldn’t be surprised to see Townsend head back to Tyneside. Not sure being back-up at Watford is what Krul had in mind at this stage in his career, but Ajax are desperate to end his unsuccessful loan spell to get him off the wage bill…
