Everton have reached an agreement with Chelsea this evening for the signing of Tyrique George. The Toffees are now set to begin talks with the 20 year-old over personal terms 🔵 @ElBobble
🚨 Inter Milan are working on Trevoh Chalobah. Contacts ongoing with the player, who is totally open to joining. Chelsea have rejected Como bid and are requesting £35m. (@FabrizioRomano)
🚨 David Ornestein 🗣️ Granit Xhaka is a top target for Xabi Alonso. He played under him, succeeded, and enjoyed a great relationship with him at Bayer Leverkusen. We revealed on The Athletic that Chelsea have made an offer of £8 million.
That bid has been rejected. Sunderland say they have no intention of selling him. They see him as a key player, their captain, and someone who will lead them into Europe next season.
It does seem that Xhaka would like to make the move and reunite with Xabi Alonso.
This is the sort of profile that might not have appealed to Chelsea previously, and certainly not if Xabi Alonso wasn't involved. And I'm not sure Chelsea would have appealed to Xhaka either if it wasn't for Xabi Alonso. But it is a fascinating situation, and let's see where it goes from here.
🚨 Lamine Yamal on facing Marc Cucurella in Clasico: “Look, I told him that he will start the first match but by second he will already be a substitute…
…because I'm going to eat him alive”, told Cope.
🚨Xabi Alonso was a big reason Marco Palestra chose Chelsea.
Palestra said he felt “a lot of energy” from Xabi and believes he is one of the best managers in the world because of what he achieved at Bayer Leverkusen.
He also revealed they had two conversations before the move, with Xabi explaining exactly what he wanted from him. #NG67
