Newcastle close in on Kelly
Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly is set to undergo a medical at Newcastle today, according to Fabrizio Romano.
He will sign a five-year-contract with the club.
Kelly is out of contract and will join the Magpies as a free transfer.
Bayern eye Colwill
Levi Colwill has allegedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich.
The former Burnley boss has already opened talks with champions Leverkusen over a move for centre-half Jonathan Tah.
The 28-year-old played a huge role in Xabi Alonso’s side going the entire Bundesliga campaign unbeaten but the lure of Bayern looks to be too strong.
Now Kompany is reportedly also looking to add Colwill to his backline.
The 21-year-old is believed to be aware of Bayern’s interest, according to the Daily Mail.
However, Chelsea currently do not want to sell their academy graduate.
Jhon set for Bridge
Chelsea have reportedly agreed a sensational £42million deal to sign Jhon Duran from Aston Villa.
Stunning reports from the striker’s native Colombia claim the Blues have struck a fee after previously targeting Duran in January.
The 20-year-old is said to be pushing for the Stamford Bridge switch. And he is already reckoned to be in contract talks with Chelsea as a move intensifies.
Duran only joined Villa 18 months ago from MLS outfit Chicago Fire. He’s netted eight goals in 49 games at Villa Park.
And Duran was the subject of strong interest from Chelsea in January.
The Blues opted against a winter move despite Armando Broja’s Fulham loan and Christopher Nkunku’s latest injury setback.
But Colombian outlet En La Jugada RCN claims a deal to take Duran to London is finally in the making. Villa are said to have accepted a deal worth £42m for the young forward.
Utd face shock Mainoo approach
Manchester United could face a cheeky summer bid for their new star midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
Barcelona are reportedly prepared to put up a player plus cash deal approach for the 19-year-old.
Mainoo surged into the England squad for the Euros after earning a regular United spot in the second half of the season.
TEAMtalk say cash-strapped Barca could offer £8.5million plus ex-Leeds winger Raphinha.
