Football transfer rumours: Chelsea to move for Aubameyang and De Jong?

Today’s rumours are on the toasty side

Chelsea have been burning through the contents of Todd Boehly’s pocketbook like the proverbial capering seafarer all summer, and clearly see no good reason to stop now. As well as closing in on a £70m deal for one-man soap opera Frenkie de Jong, they’re preparing a similarly sized bid for Leicester defender Wesley Fofana, plus deals for former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Celtic full-back Josip Juranovic.

Manchester United haven’t yet thrown in the towel in their pursuit of De Jong; neither have they given up hope of Adrien Rabiot, whose agent/mother is playing hardball over wages, nor winger Cody Gakpo, who, should PSV see off Rangers later this month, wants to remain at the club for their upcoming Champions League campaign.

It came after one of the Newcastle keeper’s slowest days of the season, after what had often resembled a half-pitch, beat-the-packed-defence training exercise against a Leicester team largely too meek to threaten Geordie dreams.

Richarlison’s first Tottenham goals punish Marseille for Mbemba’s red card

By -
There was the obligatory pre-match footage of Lucas Moura’s winner at Ajax and then the declaration on the big screen at Tottenham’s magnificent stadium, one that is built to stage these kind of Champions League nights. “We’re back.” For so long, it appeared that the grand return after a two-season absence would fall flat, even when Marseille were reduced to ten men in the 47th minute following Chancel Mbemba’s last-man foul on Son Heung-min. It was a dreadful misjudgment by the former Newcastle centre-half.
