I know we've had this discuss before, but why go to China just for the dough? Pelle and Cisse aren't exactly shit.

Morocco defender Medhi Benatia is in Italy for a medical as he looks to complete a switch from German champions Bayern Munich to Juventus.

Preparing to offload Bonucci, perhaps.

[Lineker]

Pretty sure he is, yeah.

The Guardian are now reporting that Chelsea are poised to sign N’Golo Kanté after agreeing a deal with Leicester City which, with add-ons, could be worth €35m (£29.2m).
