\nCHELSEA EYE CEDRIC<\/strong>
\nChelsea will attempt to make a trio of signings before the end of August, including Southampton defender Cedric Soares, The Telegraph claims.
\nAntonio Conte is impressed with the 25-year-old’s versatility but the Blues are still casting their gaze over a vast number of players as the window nears its final fortnight.
\nJUVENTUS ALERTED TO FELLAINI<\/strong>
\nShould Juventus fail to land Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Blaise Matuidi, they will instead seek to sign Marouane Fellaini, The Sun reports.

\nCHELSEA TO MOVE FOR BELOTTI<\/strong>
\nChelsea manager Antonio Conte will move for Torino striker Andrea Belotti once Diego Costa leaves the club, according to a report from the Daily Star.
\nCosta was told at the end of the 2016-17 Premier League season to find a new home, though the Spain international is yet to do so and is training alone in Brazil.
\nShould the former Atletico Madrid forward be sold, the Blues will make a substantial offer for Belotti – who has scored 38 goals in 70 Serie A appearances for the Turin club.
\nMADRID TO HIJACK SANCHEZ MOVE<\/strong>
\nReal Madrid are ready to swoop in and hijack Tottenham’s move for Ajax centre-back Davinson Sanchez, according to Don Balon.

\nMAN CITY LINE UP HAZARD BI<\/strong>
\nManchester City have turned their eye on Eden Hazard after cooling their interest in Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez, according to Don Balon (via the Express).

\nCHELSEA TO MAKE \u00a350M ROSE BID<\/strong>
\nChelsea are ready to make a bid worth a whopping \u00a350 million for Tottenham full-back Danny Rose, claims the Sun.
\nThe England international has seen his standing at Spurs compromised by a controversial interview in which he questioned his side’s transfer policy.
\nAnd though he issued an apology for his words, Chelsea may look to exploit any uncertainty with a tempting offer for their London rivals.
\nSPURS WANT CELTA’S DIOP<\/strong>
\nCelta midfielder Pape Cheikh Diop has emerged as a strong candidate to become Tottenham’s first signing of the transfer window, according to the Mirror .
\nThe north Londoners are the only team in the Premier League yet to make a single signing as the window approaches its final fortnight.
\nAnd despite pursuing Everton star Ross Barkley throughout the summer, Diop’s arrival could scupper that deal as Spurs tire of the drawn-out negotiations.
\nCHELSEA STILL WANT ALEX SANDRO<\/strong>
\nChelsea are still trying to sign Alex Sandro, but want the Juventus defender to hand in a transfer request to help push through a move, claims the Evening Standard .
\nJuventus have already turned down a \u00a361 million bid after insisting the Brazilian is not for sale, but Chelsea are refusing to give up their pursuit as Antonio Conte tries to strengthen his squad.

\nVILLA TARGET WILSHERE DEAL<\/strong>
\nChampionship side Aston Villa have made an enquiry to sign Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, according to the Mirror .

\nTottenham have agreed a contract with Paris Saint-Germain full-back Serge Aurier, according to L’Equipe .
\nAurier is expected to leave PSG before the close of the transfer window and Goal understands he has agreed a five-year deal with Manchester United .

\nSERGI ROBERTO TO MAKE PL DECISION<\/strong>
\nBarcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto will make a decision on his future this week, with Chelsea and Manchester United interested, according to Sport .
\nSergi Roberto has become frustrated by a lack of faith shown in him and the signing of Paulinho has further fuelled his current unhappiness at Barcelona.
\nChelsea, United, Juventus and AC Milan are all ready to meet his \u20ac40 million release clause, with the midfielder preferring a move to the Premier League.
\nVAN DIJK TO COST WORLD RECORD FEE<\/strong>
\nVirgil van Dijk is more likely to join Chelsea or Manchester City than Liverpool, if Southampton are persuaded to sell the defender, claims Yahoo Sports .
\nSouthampton are determined to hold onto the centre-half for another season, but may be tempted to cash in, if they are offered a world-record fee for a defender of more than \u00a370 million.

\nCHELSEA IN PERISIC STRUGGLE<\/strong>
\nChelsea are struggling to convince Inter Milan to sell Manchester United target Ivan Perisic, claims Transfer Market Web .

\nBARCA REJECT MAHREZ MOVE<\/strong>
\nBarcelona have rejected the opportunity to sign Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City, according to TransferMarketWeb .
\nThe Liga giants are on the hunt for additional firepower following the \u20ac222 million sale of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain, with Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho topping their wanted list.
\nBorussia Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele is also high on the Barca agenda, though the club have no interest in signing wantaway Mahrez this summer.
\nMAN CITY TO MAKE ALEXIS BID<\/strong>
\nManchester City are set to make a \u00a360 million bid for Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez, The Telegraph reports.

\nPEREZ SET TO END ARSENAL STAY<\/strong>
\nLucas Perez is set to complete his move away from Arsenal in the coming days, with an \u00a311 million return to former club Deportivo La Coruna, according to the Daily Mail.

\nCHELSEA TO SPEND \u00a3120M ON PL TRIO<\/strong>
\nChelsea are plotting to spend a total of \u00a3120 million to bring Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, Virgil van Dijk and Danny Drinkwater to Stamford Bridge this summer, The Mirror claims.
