Chelsea to offer Trevoh Chalobah in move for £70m
According to evening standard; , Chelsea are actively seeking to bolster their defensive ranks with the acquisition of highly-rated Colombian center-back Carlos Cuesta Murillo. The Blues are reportedly willing to part ways with Trevoh Chalobah as part of a £70 million deal to secure the services of the 20-year-old defender. Murillo, who currently plays for Atlético Nacional, has been attracting interest from numerous top clubs across Europe, making him a highly sought-after prospect. Chelsea's willingness to offer a significant package, including a valuable player in Chalobah, demonstrates their determination to land the talented defender.
It would be quite something indeed, if Casemiro ultimately does leave Manchester United but remains in the Premier League . The Brazilian has been wildly tipped to remain, and secure a shock switch to Arsenal, by none other than a Gunners club legend, according to Daily Express. Gilberto Silva, speaking this week, feels Casemiro has plenty left in the tank and is more than capable of continuing at Premier League level. “Casemiro could be a good fit for Arsenal , let’s wait and see what happens. It would be very interesting if Thomas Partey left the club. If that spot becomes available then it would be interesting to see Casemiro there," Gilberto said. "He would bring a very strong and stable option to their midfield. For me, Casemiro is still a good player. I don’t know whether he’s going to stay or not in the club, but he’s a player I would love to have on my team."
Newly promoted Premier League side Southampton are all set to sign left-back Charlie Taylor from Burnley, according to Rudy Galetti. Taylor was offered a new deal by his club, however, he rejected the offer and is now close to signing for the Saints.
