We’ve got news of how Willian and Oscar are helping to seal a deal for Chelsea. Branislav Ivanovic is attracting more attention from Italy and news on a new loan for Brazilian right-back, Wallace.
Enjoy!
Willian and Oscar to seal Teixeira deal?
Alex Teixeira has been a reported target for Chelsea for a while now and rumours suggest that a deal could be struck to sign the playmaker in January.
The Telegraph, Chelsea’s Brazilian duo Willian and Oscar are convincing the player to sign for Chelsea. Teixeira reportedly has a close friendship with the pair, which could only increase his chances of signing for the club.
Ivanovic to AC Milan?
The same report from the Telegraph, which quotes the Mirror, claims that Branislav Ivanovic is attracting yet more attention from Italy. Inter Milan were believed to be interested in the right-back, who can speak to foreign clubs from January onwards.
AC Milan are the latest club to spark an interest in the Serbian. The fallen Italian giants are thought to be keen on securing a deal in January however, rather than sealing a summer move this month.
Wallace set for Brazil move
Wallace, remember him? At the beginning of the season, he was sent out on loan to Serie A minnows, Carpi. After sealing promotion from Serie B, it looked like a good move for the right-back to get some game time in Europe.
It has not worked out that way for Wallace, he has received limited game time and is set to be recalled by Chelsea. He will then be shipped back out on loan to Gremio in Brazil, according to the Telegraph.
Gremio’s director of football, Rui Costa confirmed the club’s expected arrival:
“We can announce the Wallace deal on Wednesday.”
Chelsea keen on Niasse?
Lokomotiv Moscow striker, Oumar Niasse is the latest striker to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in January.
The same report in the Telegraph, who quote the Evening Standard, claim that Chelsea are keen to add depth to their strikeforce to ease the pressure on Diego Costa.
Everton and Aston Villa are also interested in the striker who has scored seven in 11 this season in the Russian Premier League.
