Premier league

The Italian international played a key role in helping Antonio Conte’s side lift the league title, scoring three goals and providing 13 assists in all competitions.

Whether manager Jurgen Klopp sees the Norwegian as a priority, though, we shall see. It is believed the Premier League champions have set their sights on a new centre-back and another forward this summer so signing a midfielder like Odegaard may not be their main objective.

N’Golo Kante’s fitness is a worry heading into the weekend but, after the Frenchman was taken off as a precautionary measure against Leicester, there is optimism he’ll be ready for the final day of the season.

Fans on Twitter are not happy that Hudson-Odoi has been mentioned as a potential candidate in a part-exchange offer, with many feeling he won’t be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge:

There are also some other concerns. While Silva has had a successful time in Germany, he struggled after a big-money move to AC Milan a few years ago and was not able to recapture his form during a loan spell in Spain with Sevilla either. There are, therefore, no guarantees that he would be a prolific scorer in the Premier League.

Fans shouldn’t get too excited about the possible signing of Pulisic, though. Chelsea are very unlikely to sell to a direct rival, but there could be one scenario whereby a deal could happen.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger will likely take up the three positions in the centre of defence, with Andreas Christensen back on the bench following a hamstring injury.

After the match, manager Thomas Tuchel refused to put a timeframe on Mendy’s return but the keeper is now in a race against time to prove his fitness ahead of the Champions League final against Manchester City this weekend.

Bayern Munich full-back David Alaba is not interested in moving to Manchester City, Chelsea or Paris...

“As things stand, all the significant forwards they have looked at don’t appear to be heading to Stamford Bridge any time soon. For example, in January The Athletic reported how the club were doing everything they could to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland. However, sources have said those hopes are gone now the Bundesliga club have booked their place in the Champions League next season. They weren’t keen to sell anyway, but have no intention of doing so now.”
