West Ham In Talks With Chelsea Over Striker

Loic Remy could be on his way to West Ham.

Previous interest has been shown in the Frenchman but this isn’t a deal the Hammers have been able to pull off, could it happen now?

Sky Sport News has reported West Ham have ‘entered talks’ with Chelsea in a bid to sign former Newcastle and QPR forward on loan.

Chelsea would prefer to sell Remy outright by all accounts but wouldn’t be opposed to a loan deal, which would work best of all for West Ham as Slaven Bilic (and the Hammers) aren’t looking to spend big again if possible.

Remy’s also gaining interest from rivals Crystal Palace and Spanish club Valencia too so we’ll not have a straight run at him.

Chelsea Offers Juventus €60 million For Striker

According to Football Italia, Alvaro Morata is in conversation with the brass at Stamford Bridge over a big money transfer, but there are disagreements over salary.

Reports state that Chelsea are offering €60 million for Morata’s services, but the hold up is over the yearly wage. Chelsea appear to be willing to give €6 million a year while the entourage around Morata are reportedly asking for €7.5 million a year.

Morata is a young star and is coming off a great season with Juventus scoring 12 goals and 9 assists for the club in all competitions. Morata is also a key figure on the Spanish National team, scoring 5 goals in 11 appearances including 2 goals in the Euro’s so far.

I think this deal is likely. Juventus won’t offer the kind of money Chelsea will to keep the star striker and Chelsea are rumored to be shopping Diego Costa around. If Costa goes, look for the Blues to make this move at all costs.

West Ham Make £32 million Offer For French International

According to a report on Gianluca Di Marzio, West Ham United are ready to make a new offer of £32 million for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

West Ham have already lodged bids for Lacazette this transfer window, but Lyon have so far rejected their offers.

However, the London club are now prepared to make an increased offer for the French international, as they aim to bolster their forward line.

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic appears to have made signing a striker his top priority in the upcoming transfer window, and Lacazette appears to be at the top of his wishlist.

The 25-year-old scored 23 times in 44 appearances for Lyon last term, and he is regarded as one of the best strikers in Europe.

Lacazette’s arrival at West Ham would outline their ambitions as they move into the Olympic Stadium.

Morata Could Make Chelsea Move

Real Madrid are ready to activate their buy-back clause for Arsenal and Manchester United target Alvaro Morata and immediately sell the striker to Chelsea, according to the Express.

Morata came through the youth ranks at Real Madrid before joining Serie A champions Juventus for £15.8m in the summer of 2014 having failed to establish himself as a first team regular at the Bernabeu.

The 23-year-old has impressed during his two seasons in Italy with his 26 goals helping the Turin giants win successive Serie A title’s and his performances have led to interest from the Premier League with the Express claiming that Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd are all keen to lure the striker to England.

Madrid inserted a buy-back clause in to Morata’s contract when they sold him two years ago and the newspaper suggests that the Spanish outfit are now ready to pay the required £23.7m plus odds ons fee to re-sign the striker this summer.

However, Zinedine Zidane’s side aren’t interested in keeping hold of Morata for long as the Express claim they’ve agreed to immediately re-sell the striker to Chelsea at a profit with new Blues boss Antonio Conte supposedly willing to pay big-money to take the player to Stamford Bridge.

Conte is expected to undertake a squad overhaul this summer when he officially begins work as Chelsea’s new manager after Euro 2016 and a new striker is on the cards as Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao are set to leave this summer so the West Londoners need competition for Diego Costa next year.

Morata would be an exciting signing if Chelsea can pull off this complex deal as although he has a fairly average goal scoring ratio of about 1 in 3, I think he has all the qualities needed to be a real hit in the Premier League.

Chelsea To Make Bid For Slovenian Goalkeeper

Chelsea showed plenty of spirit in the second half against Tottenham on Monday night, but that has been sadly lacking for much of the season.

Antonio Conte is not the kind of manager to take any prisoners and reports in the Daily Star suggest that he is planning on replacing Thibaut Courtois with Samir Handanovic.

The Slovenia international will certainly need no introduction to the incoming Chelsea boss, having spent over a decade playing his football in Italy.

His impressive performances in Serie A have twice resulted in the 31-year-old being named as the best goalkeeper in the division
