Graham Potter’s Chelsea and Pep Guardiola’s Pep Guardiola could make bids for Tottenham Hotspur transfer target and AC Milan forward Rafael Leao, according to TMW.

TMW have reported that both Chelsea and Manchester City are planning bids for AC Milan star Leao in the January transfer window.

Chelsea could include Albanian striker Armando Broja, Christian Pulisic or Hakim Ziyech in a deal to sign Leao, who can also operate as a winger and is valued at €120 million (£105 million) by defending Serie A champions Milan.

Defending Premier League champions Manchester City could also make an offer to the Rossoneri for the 23-year-old, according to the report in the Italian news outlet.

Chelsea stance on Rafael Leao blow for Tottenham Hotspur

Chelsea and Manchester City’s reports stance on Leao will come as a blow for Tottenham Hotspur.

That’s because Antonio Conte’s side have also been linked with the Portugal international, who has scored five goals and provided four assists in Serie A and has scored one goal and provided two assists in the UEFA Champions League so far this season.

CMW reported last month that Tottenham are keen on signing Leao.

However, it is hard to see Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy willing to splash £105 million on a single player, and that too in the middle of the season.
