🚨 New talks between Chelsea and Sunderland over Granit Xhaka are scheduled today. The deal remains difficult but is not off at this stage.

🚨Chelsea have an interest in Rayo Vallecano defender Pep Chavarria – if signed, I’m told he won’t be a direct replacement for Marc Cucurella.
Jorrel Hato set to be promoted and play a bigger role next season.

🚨JUST IN: Sunderland maintain Granit Xhaka is Not For Sale. Sunderland do not want to sell and are under no financial pressure to do so.
However Sunderland are aware that Xhaka wants to play for Xabi Alonso again @SkySports_Keith
🚨BREAKING: Granit Xhaka and Chelsea have already reached a full verbal agreement over a transfer. Personal terms have been fully agreed.
Chelsea are already in contact with Sunderland. Xabi Alonso is pushing hard to sign him!

🚨Maxence Lacroix fits the profile of basically a mentality monster, big, tall, and strong. Chelsea are happy with their ball-playing options, but they're looking for a starting center back to partner Levi Colwill.
