Chelsea are readying themselves for a potential bid for midfielder N’Golo Kante from Premier League rivals Manchester United after the Red Devils made contact over the France international, while there could be other exits and additions to the Blues midfield.

Paris Saint-Germain have signalled their interest in Jorginho to the west London club, with the French champions keen to pick up the Italy international on a loan deal.

Should either Kante or Jorginho go, that will surely lead Frank Lampard to push harder for a move for West Ham’s Declan Rice, but Hammers assistant coach Alan Irvine said on Monday night that the England international is “extremely happy” where he is. Follow all the latest news, rumours and deals below.

EVERTON TARGETING CHELSEA DEFENDER

Everton are interested in signing Kurt Zouma as they look to strenghten their defence before October 5, according to Le10Sport.

The Frenchman spent the 2018-19 season on loan with the Toffees, and Chelsea are reportedly open to offers.

Leicester are also considering a move for the 25-year-old, who was dropped for Chelsea’s 3-3 draw against West Brom on Saturday.

BLUES PREPARING FOR KANTE BID FROM RIVALS

Chelsea are readying themselves for a potential bid for midfielder N’Golo Kante from Premier League rivals Manchester United after the Red Devils made contact over the France international.

The 29-year-old would likely have to take a significant wage cut, according to The Mirror, with Kante currently earning approximately £300,000 per week.

It is reported that United have made contact with Kante’s advisers, rather than Chelsea themselves.
