Swansea City players are targets as Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United consider their moves this January. Get the latest here.
All the last 24 hours transfer news and gossip you need to know in one place…
Could Chelsea be attempting to get rid of £50 million striker Fernando Torres? Former manager Carlo Ancelotti, new boss at PSG, who signed the player to Stamford Bridge, claims he has been offered Torres.
The remarkable statement comes just as Torres’ looks to be regaining a bit of form, after getting a run of games in the side in Didier Drogba‘s absence.
From Chelsea’ perspective you can understand why, business-wise it is accepted nobody is going to want to pay in excess of the fee he commanded a year ago, and with his value depreciating by the day, it is worth hawking him to cash-rich PSG.
You have to say any deal looks unlikely, as the French side would prefer Carlos Tevez if the same report is to be believed.
After their stunning win over Arsenal was shown live on Sky on Sunday, it is no surprise that the papers are already speculating about the dismantling of the Swansea City side like vultures.
The Daily Star reports that Liverpool are interested in former Chelsea forward Scott Sinclair, willing to bid £5 million.
This is one that Swansea should just reject straight off the bat if it is true. Bearing in mind Sinclair’s young age and almost unlimited potential, a minimum opening bid should be £10 million.
He would be just the type of player Liverpool need though. Perhaps they should have tried to sign him in the summer instead of Stewart Downing.
The flying Dutchman Michel Vorm is the next Swansea player to be linked away. Clubs supposedly interested include Chelsea and Tottenham, which could be logical, and Manchester United, not so despite David De Gea‘s shaky start.
The goalkeeper has made a superb impact so far and at £1.5 million is one of the signings of the season.
The quotes in Daily Mail article comes from a Swansea director, so the rumour has credibility, just don’t expect anything to happen this January.
Intriguingly Newcastle United are also mentioned, could they be preparing to sell fellow Dutch international goalkeeper Tim Krul?
Chelsea‘s search for creativity continues, with Stevan Jovetic the latest name linked.
The Montenegro playmaker currently plays for Italian side Fiorentina and is one of Europe’s hottest properties.
His progress has been stalled in the last year by injury, but signs are that he is getting back to his best.
The Mirror reports that Chelsea have had a £14 million bid rejected, but if their interest is serious expect them to return with an improved bid.
The Viola are not in a position to compete with Chelsea wage-wise, so this deal could be a goer.
And finally we are politely requesting that Arsene Wenger sell Andrei Arshavin if Arsenal are serious about reclaiming their perennial Champions League place.
The Russian is largely disinterested and is yet to have a good game this season, so Arsenal should cash in now and spend the money on a defender to aid their injury-hit back line.
