Chelsea eye French talent
Chelsea have been linked with a plethora of French starlets as they look to strengthen ahead of another Premier League title challenge.
Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann, Real’s Raphael Varane and Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette are all on Mourinho’s radar this summer, according to the Daily Mirror.
Mourinho is looking to bolster his attack next season, with Chelsea looking light upfront during Diego Costa’s absence.
City target Rose
Manchester City are planning a £15m bid for Tottenham full-back Danny Rose, according to the Daily Star.
The recently deposed champopns are plotting a major overhaul of their squad this summer, and reports suggest Rose will be brought in to provide competition for Gael Clichy.
Liverpool chase Begovic
It looks like Simon Mignolet’s days as Liverpool’s first-choice keeper could be numbered as the Reds prepare a £10m move for Stoke stopper Asmir Begovic, the Daily Star report.
Brendan Rodgers wants competition for places at Anfield, and Begovic could be the man to put pressure on Mignolet following a difficult season for the Belgian.
Begovic’s future at Stoke has been thrown into doubt after England U21 star Jack Butland started in goal against Swansea last weekend.
