'Better than Kante'- United interested in January move for world class midfielder

 



With the summer transfer window slamming shut on Tuesday, Premier League squads are now set for at least the next six months.


Manchester United decided against signing another midfielder this summer, instead securing the likes of Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo in what can only be described as a successful window.


Making 99 appearances over the next three years, the defensive midfielder has racked up modest goal contribution numbers (four goals and two assists).


Last season proved to be a breakout season for the 25-year-old, producing more tackles and interceptions than any other player (174) and missing just two games both due to suspension.


Bissouma has been likened to Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante, even outperforming the World Cup and Champions League winner in key metrics last term, including tackles, interceptions and clearances.


United were linked with a plethora of midfielders this window, with the likes of Saul Niguez, Ruben Neves and Eduardo Camavinga all rumoured to be frontrunners for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Reds.


Perhaps their main target was West Ham’s Declan Rice, however after waiting a year to sign Sancho and eventually paying much less than originally quoted, United may follow a similar strategy with Rice.

Chelsea plan late loan bid for £38m midfielder after Man Utd approach

  Chelsea are planning a last-ditch loan move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, according to reports. The European champions have already completed their major signing this month by landing Romelu Lukaku in a £97.5 million deal from Inter. Chelsea have targeted Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde this summer but are looking to offload Kurt Zouma to West Ham before they press ahead with that deal. But according to The Telegraph, Chelsea are also exploring the possibility of a late effort to sign Saul from Atletico Madrid. However, the report claims that Chelsea’s bid to sign the Spain international hinges on whether the club can trim Thomas Tuchel’s other midfield options who are not part of the first-team plans. It’s understood that Atletico were willing to allow the midfielder to leave if their €45m (£38m) valuation was met. Saul has played in both of Atletico’s games in the new La Liga season so far and the Spanish champions have registered wins against Celta Vigo and Elch...

Chelsea have already signed perfect Romelu Lukaku partner but he could leave this summer

Chelsea are interested in signing Romelu Lukaku this summer and are ready to offer over £100m to make a move go through. The Inter Milan striker has become the top transfer target after Thomas Tuchel failed to convince Borussia Dortmund to part ways with Erling Haaland. The Belgian has become the top target at Stamford Bridge with the club desperate to bring in someone to score goals. It follows a season where Jorginho was their top scorer in the Premier League with seven - mainly penalties - while the likes of Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham toiled. Lukaku, on the other hand, netted 30 in all competitions as Inter Milan landed their first Serie A title in 10 years. Antonio Conte made the former Manchester United star his main man going forward, spearheading a side that contained several attacking talents such as Ivan Perisic, Lautaro Martinez and Christian Eriksen. But with Chelsea determined to sign the 28-year-old, Tuchel might finally get the striker he covets as he puts his own touc...

Chelsea legend calls for exiting player to return to Stamford Bridge

  Well, we all needed a great distraction from the emotional rollercoaster of the last couple of days of the transfer window, right? Blues legend Didier Drogba certainly provided this yesterday when he posted his views about former winger Willian leaving Arsenal. I’m thinking he is trolling a little here, or at least that is what I am going to run with, but Drogba posted on his Twitter account for Willian to ‘come back home’ yesterday after he saw the news of him leaving Arsenal. Well Drogs, you’re a legend, but not sure too many Chelsea fans would share those views!
