According to The S*n, Chelsea are the ‘closest to sealing a deal’ with Napoli for defender Elseid Hysaj. The 24-year-old, who has also attracted interest from Manchester United and Liverpool, has a £44m release clause and Calciomercato say his agent has held talks with Chelsea’s representatives.
The future of Davide Zappacosta at Chelsea is uncertain after an underwhelming debut season at Stamford Bridge. Signed from Torino last summer, the 25-year-old has made just 11 Premier League starts this season and could be moved on if the Londoners bring in a replacement.
