Analysing the Transfer gossip – 9th June: Part one: Chelsea special – Cavani, Xabi Alonso, Gomez and more

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho plans to sell striker Demba Ba, 28 after just five months at Stamford Bridge.

Full story: Sunday Mirror

What’s the story? Ba has been underwhelming at Chelsea, perhaps suffering for the first time as the small fish in a big pond.Does it make sense? Potentially. If they want to keep Lukaku around and sign a Cavani/Rooney type then yes.Is the price right? Someone like Everton could justify £12m on Ba given his solid Premier League record.Will it happen? 5/10 – Unlikely unless they get a good bid. They’re under no pressure to sell so may well resist small offers.
