Premier League transfer news: Vazquez to North London, Kovacic to United and much more – 5th January, 2018

Barkley could finally move to London

Some of the news regarding Chelsea isn’t all that great, but some are actually very good. I will always start with the worst ones and there can be nothing worse for Chelsea fans than to see Andy Carroll in a blue shirt—even as a ball boy.

According to Daily Mail, the Blues want Andy Carroll on loan from West Ham. The once-British-record signing is an option that Conte likes since he doesn’t really trust Michy Batshuayi all that much.

Meanwhile, Ross Barkley is on the verge of joining Chelsea for £15 million and is said to have undergone a medical, with the move to be sealed later today. When Conte was asked about it, he said that while the news will be confirmed by the club should it happen, the Englishman is a “fantastic investment.”
