Chelsea news is still coming thick and fast with the La Liga and Scottish transfer windows still open and Express Sport is on hand to bring you all the latest gossip from Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea reject Tottenham bid for Tammy Abraham
Chelsea rejected Tottenham’s deadline-day swoop for Tammy Abraham, reports claim.
Spurs were the only Premier League club who failed to complete a single signing during the transfer window.
But Goal reports that Mauricio Pochettino wanted to sign a partner for England hero Harry Kane.
Spurs offered £25million for the 20-year-old, who impressed during loan spells with Bristol City and Swansea, but Maurizio Sarri’s rebuffed the deal.
One last chance for Eden?
Eden Hazard will reject the chance to leave Chelsea before the European transfer window shuts.
That is the claim of former Stamford Bridge skipper Dennis Wise, as speculation over Real Madrid’s interest in the winger rumbles on.
Real can make signings until the end of August – when the La Liga transfer window shuts until January.
But Wise is convinced Hazard will stick with Chelsea, where he spent 11 years during his own playing career.
“I think he’ll stay I really do,” Wise told beIN SPORTS. “He’s important to Chelsea and the fans as well he’s important to the team as he is a player of exceptional ability.
“You want to keep those type of players so fingers crossed nothing happens. I think he’s quite loyal and I think he wants to stay at Chelsea, I really do.”
Antonio Conte to Man Utd odds
Antonio Conte has moved to the second favourite in the betting odds to replace Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.
Reports emerged earlier this month claiming Zinedine Zidane could replace the Portuguese if he is given the boot.
And while Zidane is still favourite to succeed Mourinho at Manchester United, Conte is also supposedly in the running.
According to bookmakers PaddyPower, Conte has moved from 14/1 to take over at Old Trafford to just 5/1.
Willian backed to join Real Madrid
Willian could quit Stamford Bridge for Real Madrid, the bookies claim.
The Brazil international has been heavily linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent weeks.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have been credited with an interest in the 29-year-old, with reports yesterday claiming Real had tabled a £55m bid for Willian.
And the bookies have now tipped Real Madrid to sign Willian before the end of the month, slashing the odds on the deal from 8-1 to 2-1.
“Barcelona failed in their attempt to sign Willian earlier in the summer transfer window, however, the latest betting activity suggests the Brazilian could be set for a move to Spain, after all, to join Real Madrid before the end of this month,” Coral’s John Hill said.
“We have been knocked over with interest in our betting this morning and as a result, the Chelsea winger’s odds have been slashed to join the Spanish giants.”
