Good morning football fans
Man Utd target Marcus Thuram has reportedly opened talks with Chelsea.
The French forward is a wanted man after his fine form this season as well as his impressive performances at the World Cup in Qatar.
Chelsea are in the market for more firepower and have already added young striker David Datro Fofana to their roster.
The club has also signed defender Benoit Badiashile and midfielder Andrey Santos.
However, the Blues are not yet done in the January transfer window as manager Graham Potter looks to put his stamp on the squad.
Chelsea have now opened talks to sign Thuram with his club over a move this month, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.Tammy Abraham is a target for BOTH Arsenal and Man Utd, this January transfer window.
The Roma striker has endured a difficult campaign this season, after a stellar debut for the Serie A giants.
Following his 27 goal haul last term, this year he has struggled with just four strikes in 21 games.
And according to Italian outlet La Repubblica, that could mean Roma could let the centre forward go – with the two Premier League clubs monitoring the situation.
Chelsea have received a major transfer blow in their bid to sign Brighton star Moises Caicedo.
The Seagulls’ CEO Paul Barber has delivered a further blow to their hopes of landing the midfielder in the January transfer blow with a jest to Chelsea manager Graham Potter.
Potter coached the Ecuador international during his time as Brighton boss and previously claimed that a reported bid of £42million from the West Londoners wouldn’t be enough.
In fact, the 47-year-old tactician claimed that amount would probably only buy Caicedo’s boots.
But Barber has made it even harder for the Stamford Bridge outfit as he now claims that fee would probably not even be enough to purchase his shoelaces.
Corinthians have registered an interest in signing Philippe Coutinho from Aston Villa.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, the Brazilian side want to sign the former Barcelona star on loan, but it will be a “difficult deal”.
Corinthians president Duilio Monteiro Alves said: “The contact exists and the desire is there, but it is a very difficult deal.
“We want the player on loan, but while the transfer window in Europe is open, everything is very difficult. It is still a very premature operation but we have to try.”
Blackburn want a staggering £15million for top scorer Ben Brereton Diaz — and won’t budge on it.
Clubs at home and abroad have made inquiries for Rovers’ Chile international.
But the price remains the same despite his contract expiring in the summer — meaning he can sign a pre-contract with a foreign club now.
Newcastle, Everton, West Ham and Leeds are not prepared to pay that fee.
The 23-year-old striker enjoyed a breakout season last year in which he scored 22 goals in 37 Championship games.
While he has not been as prolific this season, he has still been in good form, having scored ten goals in 29 appearances in all competitions.
