Thursday 3rd September, Transfer Rumours And Gossip
Chelsea have reportedly contacted former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum over a possible free transfer.
The 35-year-old Dutchman became a free agent after leaving Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq earlier this summer, with Chelsea exploring the possibility of adding his experience to their midfield.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are considering a January move for Bournemouth’s highly rated French forward Eli Junior Kroupi.
The 20-year-old striker remains on Arsenal’s radar after the Gunners opted against a move before the transfer window closed and could revisit their interest when the market reopens.
Arsenal assistant manager Gabriel Heinze also reportedly made contact with Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez before the deadline over a possible move.
However, Inter were not interested in negotiating a deal for their 29-year-old Argentine forward.
Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also expected to resume their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen’s Cameroon striker Christian Kofane when the January transfer window opens.
Manchester United, meanwhile, decided against signing a new left-back during the final days of the window after failing to find a player they considered good enough to strengthen the squad.
Everton rejected a late £65 million offer from Chelsea for midfielder James Garner. The proposal arrived too close to the deadline to be accepted.
Elsewhere, former Manchester United and France striker Anthony Martial remains without a club and is reportedly seeking a return to the Premier League.
Everton, however, are not planning to enter the free-agent market despite their difficult finish to the transfer window.
Tottenham forward Richarlison has agreed to join Turkish side Trabzonspor, with the Brazilian reportedly set to earn a salary three times higher than his current wages at Spurs.
Chelsea could also face competition from Liverpool for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara if they revive their interest in the Senegal international following the collapse of his proposed deadline-day move to Stamford Bridge.
