- The Express reports that Chelsea are keeping a close eye on Alexandre Lacazette’s situation at Olympique Lyonnais. Citing sources in France, the French forward has apparently failed to reach an agreement regarding a contract extension at his current club, and numerous Premier League teams, including the Blues, are waiting to pounce should the situation not be resolved.
- The future of Marco Van Ginkel still remains unclear, according to The Daily Star. Although the 22-year-old has been linked with Newcastle United and Sunderland, the midfielder seemingly has no idea where he’ll be going next season, if anywhere at all. ‘Of course it’s strange that I do not know where I will play next month,’ said Van Ginkel.

- In more juicy news, The Mirror claims that Chelsea have had a £20million bid for Isco rejected by Real Madrid. The Spanish club are unwilling to sell the midfielder and thus a much higher price will be needed to strike a deal, something that could be facilitated by an Oscar sale. ‘The Chelsea boss could be ready to sacrifice Brazilian playmaker Oscar’.
- The Mirror also notes that Loic Remy is subject to loan interest from Turkish side Besiktas. Despite the Blues insisting that Remy will not be leaving, Besiktas are looking to test their resolve. ‘The Turkish club are seeking a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal for the 28-year-old striker.’
- Lastly, ESPN FC reports that Chelsea youngster Isaiah Brown will be loaned out to…? Yep, you guessed it. Brown will be farmed out to Vitesse next season. He’ll join teammate Lewis Baker at the Dutch club.
