#Chelsea are prioritising a loan move for Everton left-back Lucas Digne in January. Thomas Tuchel's side only want a loan deal. Everton want a permanent sale of around £25M.

Attila Szalai has been linked with Napoli, Milan and Chelsea, but Fenerbache want at least €20m for their versatile defender.

The 23-year-old is under contract with Fenerbache until June 2025 and Hungary boss Marco Rossi revealed at the beginning of December that the defender was close to joining Chelsea.

Rossi thought Szalai could have been a good signing for Serie A clubs but suggested the Blues were in pole position to secure his signature.

“Clearly, he has been followed by important clubs in Spain, but apparently his move to Chelsea is a done deal,” Rossi said.

“It would be a great player also for Italian football.”


However,English journalist Matt Law has stated that the player is of no interest to Chelsea at this time.

25m for Digne, not bad I guess. Marina should be able to negotiate that down. Throw in Barkley as apparently they want him back.

I still think the club will do the El Cheapo option and bring Emerson back for six months.

Is it "not bad"...or is it about what he's worth...i'm unsure

Think his contract with Everton is until 2025. 20m for him is okay.

Emerson not played too much for Lyon so yeah a recall is likely

was just going to ask how much he'd played..."not much" is ominous

I think he's played half the league games. He's similar to Alonso for me

Don't think he'll be welcome back. He burned a lot of bridges when he moved to London. ITK stuff

Then again Everton hired Benitez so they clearly don't give af about the fans so who knows

The bigger problem with Barkley is finding a cabbie willing take him away from the club

In fairness Emerson appears to have played more than suggested above, he’s played in 15 out of 18 league games for Lyon

Reece at LWB was what I got from Twitter - maybe it's to stop the threat of Lamptey?

I am just posting it in line with the tweet - could easily be the case.

This err...Mr Twitter - how reliable is he?

Nice line up

Finally watched Spider-Man. Enjoyed it, but think my expectations were way too high beforehand. Thought it was going to be an all time favourite of mine and instant classic, which it wasn’t. More like a solid addition to the marvel collection.
