CHELSEA LAND BAKAYOKO
Tiemoue Bakayoko is set to join Chelsea on Friday after a drawn-out transfer saga after the Blues reached a deal with Monaco on Wednesday night, French outlet
RMC reports.
The deal will come as a relief for Antonio Conte, who has seen a number of his top transfer targets missed this summer but has finally landed the midfielder.


DORTMUND IN FOR GIROUD
Borussia Dortmund will look to sign Olivier Giroud as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should the striker depart for Chelsea, reports the Mirror .

Dortmund would join Everton, West Ham and AC Milan in the race to sign Giroud.


ROMA KEEN ON MAHREZ
Italian side Roma are interested in a deal for Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez, according to Sky Italia .
The Algerian has played a massive part for the Foxes since joining in 2014, helping the club to promotion and a Premier League title, but seems ready to move on.


PSG IN FOR MANGALA
Paris Saint-Germain are "seriously considering" a move for Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala, reports ESPN .
The French side are keen to add a fourth centre-back to the squad and the 26-year-old is deemed surplus with City.


ARSENAL WANT WEST HAM YOUNGSTER
Arsenal are looking to land West Ham's promising young talent Domingos Quina, according to Sky Sports .
The 17-year-old joined from Chelsea last season and took part in the club's Europa League campaign early on.
A series of strong showing at the U-19 Euros have the Gunners, who made a contract offer to Quina before his move to West Ham, once again looking to sign the youngster.


WEST HAM WANT JOE HART
West Ham are set to raid Manchester City for goalkeeper Joe Hart this week, reports the Mirror .
With City having landed Ederson from Benfica already this summer, the England goalkeeper's future with the club looks bleak, but the Manchester outfit still want £20 million for their former number 1.


CITY SET FOR VASCO STAR
Vasco star Douglas is set for a move to Manchester City, according to Globoesporte .
The midfielder will be loaned to Spain as he is not yet able to earn a work permit in England.


BONUCCI AGREES TO MILAN MOVE
AC Milan have made an offer for Juventus centre-back Leonardo Bonucci, according to
Sportmediaset , with the Italian champions given 72 hours to respond to the proposal.
The report claims Bonucci has agreed to the swap, which would see him earn €7 million per year at San Siro, and suggests Juve may be open to the deal due to having young talents Daniele Rugani and Mattia Caldara at their disposal.
Additionally, Milan are prepared to offer highly-rated 22-year-old centre-back Alessio Romagnoli – as well as Mattia De Sciglio - as part of the deal, further sweeting the pot.


DIER NOT FOR SALE AMID MAN UTD LINKS
Tottenham insist that Eric Dier is not for sale amid links with Manchester United, according to Sky Sports .

BARCA DITCH BELLERIN BID
Barcelona have ditched plans to sign Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin during the summer transfer window, according to Sport.
Bellerin had previously been Barca’s leading target to fill the right-back role next season, but Arsenal were unwilling to sell the Spaniard.
And, with new coach Ernesto Valverde reportedly having doubts over Bellerin’s physical and technical capabilities, Barca have decided against pursuing a €40 million deal.


WBA TARGET SMALLING & JONES
West Brom are targeting moves for Manchester United defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, according to the Daily Mirror .
Baggies boss Tony Pulis is keen to bolster his backline this summer and, following the arrival of Victor Lindelof at Old Trafford, the England internationals have fallen down the pecking order.


WENGER MET WITH MBAPPE
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger met with French prodigy Kylian Mbappe on June 14 in Paris, according to France Football.
The French manager tried to convince the Monaco teenager that London would be the best home for him in a meeting that lasted more than three hours, appealing to the 18-year-old to follow in the footsteps of French legend Thierry Henry.


ZOUMA TO GO OUT ON LOAN
Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is set for talks with Stoke and West Brom about a potential loan move, according to Sky Sports.

MAN UTD STILL SHORT ON PERISIC
