Christian Benteke
Benteke could move to Chelsea next season

- Leicester City are eyeing a swoop for Burnley defender Michael Keane, according to the Mirror, and are ready to dish out £10millon. The center-back left Manchester United in 2015 and Claudio Ranieri wants to bring the 23-year-old to the King Power to provide competition for first choice defensive duo Robert Huth and Wes Morgan.

- Chelsea want to sign Christian Benteke from Liverpool, according to the Times. Antonio Conte wants to pair the Belgian with Diego Costa. Benteke did not meet the expectations at Anfield that came in with his £32.5million price tag last season, Jurgen Klopp instead preferring Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi ahead of the 25-year-old.

- Tottenham have fended off competition from Leicester and have struck a deal with Southampton for Victor Wanyama, according to Sky Sports. The two clubs have reportedly agreed on a fee of about £11million, and a medical could take place in the coming days.

- Jose Mourinho is preparing to raid former club Chelsea to bring in Cesar Azpilicueta to Manchester United, according to AS. The Spanish newspaper has claimed that Antonio Conte is ready to sell the full-back for a cut priced fee of £11.8million this summer. Mourinho is a big fan of the player but will have to face competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Athletic Bilbao for the Spaniard’s signature.
