Transfer News Live: Sancho linked with Chelsea, McTominay to Napoli

Al-Ahli after Chelsea target Osimhen

Simon Jones, Mail Sport:

Chelsea face competition from Al-Ahli for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The Saudi Pro League club have submitted an initial bid of around £55million.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's first priority is to sell up to six players over the coming week before stepping up talks over Osimhen.
A loan with an obligation to buy is Chelsea's preferred deal for the 25-year-old, although Napoli and Osimhen have intimated that they may be willing to lower their demands to help the move go through.

Could Sterling head to United in Sancho swap?

Surely not?

I'm not sure Manchester City fans would be too happy to see Raheem Sterling in the strip of their bitter rivals.

But the Telegraph are reporting that Chelsea could include the former City man in a swap deal for Jadon Sancho.

It would be bonkers, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. Ex-Citizens have done the swap before.

Forest interested in Pereira

Sami Mokbel, Mail Sport:

Nottingham Forest hold an interest in Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira heading into the final days of the transfer window.
Pereira has been the subject of interest from a number of clubs during the summer with Marseille, Juventus and Chelsea among the teams to have monitored the Brazil midfielder's situation.
And it is understood Forest are the latest team to have emerged as a potential suitor for the 28-year-old ahead of Friday's deadline.

Want to know more about the potential Jadon Sancho transfer?

Of course, you do.

If you haven't seen our big banner on the sport page, don't worry, he is a link to the story.

The headline says it all, it really would be a shock.

Sancho to Chelsea?

Yep, you are reading that right...

Firstly, can you believe that Chelsea want yet another attacker? It's bonkers.

Secondly, Manchester United selling to a direct rival would be strange, wouldn't it?

Well, both of those things are on the cards as it is believed the Blues are interested in signing Jadon Sancho.

The winger has not featured in either of the first two Premier League games for United, not even making the squad.

So, I'm sure he would welcome the move.
