Chelsea Transfer News LIVE updates: Triple raid plan, Sandro claim, Van Dijk preference
Van Dijk boost
Southampton are more likely to sell Virgil van Dijk to Chelsea or Manchester City than Liverpool, according to reports.
The Merseyside club were thought to be the frontrunners to sign Van Dijk, with the defender said to be keen on working with Jurgen Klopp.
But Yahoo Sports claim Southampton are unlikely to sell to Liverpool and will only accept a world record bid for a defender of £70m.
Sandro latest
Chelsea are not giving up hope of signing Alex Sandro from Juventus.
That’s according to Italian reporter Gianluca Di Marzio who claims Antonio Conte still regards him as a top priority.
The Chelsea boss is desperate to strengthen his wing-back options and already had a bid rejected for Sandro earlier in the summer but Juventus have been adamant the Brazil international is not for sale.
