#1 Chelsea receive boost in Alex Sandro chase

Chelsea have been put on red alert after Juventus wing-back Alex Sandro revealed his intentions to play in the Premier League. The Blues have been long-term admirers of the Brazilian and could make a move for him in the winter transfer window.

Sandro, a long-term Manchester United target, has been linked with the Londoners on numerous occasions in the past. When asked about his future, he said:

“I think, one day, who knows what will happen?

“I have a desire to play in the Premier League but right now I am very happy where I am at, the club I am at [Juventus], the league I am playing in

#2 The Christian Pulisic transfer saga takes a twist

Borussia Dortmund v Benfica - International Champions Cup 2018

Even after Borussia Dortmund denied the possibility of parting ways with Christian Pulisic in January, the rumours of his exit haven't ceased yet.

The German outfit are yet to extend his contract which expires in 2020. Chelsea have been heavily linked with the American over a move next summer. If the reports are to be believed, they will have to battle it out with Premier League rivals Liverpool for his signature.

The club are keen on hanging on to their young superstar until the end of the season, as confirmed by Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc. When queried about his future, Pulisic said:

"I'm still focused on Dortmund. We are doing great this season."

"Once the break comes [in January], that is always when I will have to discuss with Dortmund and see about my future."

Christian Pulisic has scored 15 goals in 107 appearances for Borussia Dortmund.

#3 AC Milan eyeing loan move for Andreas Christensen

Newcastle United v Chelsea - Premier League

AC Milan are reportedly interested in offering Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen a way out of the club. The Italians want the Danish international on a loan deal and could make a move for him in January.

Christensen emerged as a revelation during Antonio Conte's regime at the Stamford Bridge, following his bust-ups with Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz. However, Maurizio Sarri has preferred to use both Rudiger and Luiz ahead of Christensen after switching to a three-man backline.

Their stellar presence in the backline has limited the 22-year-old to only League Cup appearances this season. Christensen's father suggested that his son could be open to a move in January and, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have been alerted regarding the situation.

Commenting on his son's future on Danish TV, Christensen's father said, “If his situation doesn’t change around Christmas, we’ll obviously schedule a chat with Chelsea and say, “Okay, what can we do for Andreas? Can We move him?”
