Chelsea have shown strong interest in Alejandro Garnacho, the 21-year-old Argentine winger from Manchester United. Garnacho has reportedly fallen out of favour at Old Trafford under manager Ruben Amorim, who has indicated the player is not part of his long-term plans.

Liverpool could inadvertently aid Chelsea’s pursuit of Xavi Simons over the coming weeks. The Blues have been strongly linked with the Netherlands international and could make a £60million swoop before the transfer window closes.
