#2 The Chelsea twist

Chelsea have emerged to hijack United's bid, say reports

What. In. The. World. At first, Manchester City were close to signing Alexis Sanchez but then walked out of the deal due to the expensive nature of it. So Manchester United joined the race and agreed to pay their demand, which included £20 million for the player in signing-on fee and £10 million as agent fees.

And now, in the same Irish Independent report from which the above information was obtained, it has been revealed that Chelsea have emerged in an attempt to hijack the deal from Manchester United. This almost feels like the time Willian was sure to join Liverpool, but then took a medical and Spurs and finally joined Chelsea instead.

Meanwhile, Goal report that Chelsea are looking at Watford’s Richarlison and Gladbach’s Thorgan Hazard, who was once a Blues player, for a summer move to Stamford Bridge. However, West Ham’s Andy Carroll is still the prime target this winter as Daily Mail claim that the Hammers are not willing to let him go on loan and would prefer selling him for somewhere around £30 million instead.
