Chelsea and Arsenal linked with James Rodriguez – who rejects Bayern move

Chelsea have been named as potential suitors to land James Rodriguez this summer after the player reportedly turned down a permanent move to Bayern Munich.

Sky Sports in Germany cite reports from Diario Gol that claim the player does not want to play under new manager Niko Kovac.

Bayern had been hoping to land the player on a permanent basis this summer and had a €55 million deal arranged after the Colombian enjoyed a productive season on loan from Real Madrid.

However, Rodriguez now looks set for another move, with the Premier League looking a likely destination.

Arsenal have also been linked with a move, but with neither club able to offer the player Champions League football it is yet to be seen if he would be interested in a move to London.

Chelsea are also closing in on a deal to sign Russian star Aleksandr Golovin, which may cast further doubts over a move for Rodriguez.
