Chelsea reveal Josh Acheampong stance

Chelsea have rejected multiple transfer approaches for highly-rated young defender Josh Acheampong, writes Dom Smith.

The youngster found himself limited to just 17 Premier League appearances, eight of which were starts, and only completed 90 minutes on one occasion, a goalless draw at home to Crystal Palace in the first match of the season.

Despite his fringe role last campaign, though, Chelsea have no plans to sell the talented defender. Standard Sport understands the club has rebuffed multiple approaches for Acheampong’s services from clubs in England and Europe.

Chelsea eye Jarrod Bowen and Adam Wharton

Chelsea are interested in signing both Adam Wharton and Jarrod Bowen.

The Hammers are under pressure to part with their captain following their Premier League relegation.

According to the Independent, Chelsea are monitoring the situation and believe that a fee of £50million could be enough to tempt the Irons to sell.

Wharton is also a target, according to journalist Dean Jones, who reports that the Blues have scouted the Crystal Palace midfielder extensively.

Jones claims that interest in Wharton is not linked to Enzo Fernandez’s future - with the vice-captain keen to leave this summer - but rather an update on the likes of Romeo Lavia and Andrey Santos.

Chelsea are keen to provide Xabi Alonso with more Premier League-proven performers rather than focus their transfer efforts on promising youngsters.

Wharton would command a huge fee, but a deal is not considered impossible.

Aston Villa set Morgan Rogers asking price

Arsenal are also pursuing Morgan Rogers this summer, and see him as an option on the left-hand side of their attack.

Aston Villa are desperate to keep hold of one of their most-prized assets, and have slapped a huge price tag to ward off suitors.

Initial reports suggested that Rogers would cost more than the £100million Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish.

But fresh claims from TEAMtalk suggest that a mere £80m would force Villa's hand.

With Julian Alvarez likely to cost a club-record fee for Arsenal, surpassing the £105m Declan Rice cost, the Gunners could be looking at an outlay of more than £200m for the pair.

Arsenal make Julian Alvarez their dream target

Arsenal have made Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez their dream signing this summer.

According to BBC Sport, Mikel Arteta will not rest on his laurels this summer, and has made a new striker and left-sided attacker two of his four transfer priorities.

And Alvarez is top of the list, despite stiff competition from both Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

The forward is expected to leave the Spanish capital this summer, two years after joining from Manchester City in a deal worth around £81million. It was Gunners’ sporting director, Andrea Berta, who negotiated that move a year before leaving Atleti for north London.

Alvarez still has four years to run on his current contract, and reportedly recently rejected the offer of an extension.

Arsenal last season reportedly weighed up a move for Alvarez before signing Viktor Gyokeres, but interest remains real heading into the summer transfer window.
