Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku is pushing for a move back to Inter Milan, according to transfer...

But! do say that David may be holding out for a bigger club, but West Ham have made huge strides under manager David Moyes over the last two seasons so they could have a chance of persuading the 22-year-old into joining them.

“If Chelsea can get their £100 million or anywhere near that amount back for him [Lukaku] this summer, they’ll sell him. A loan would be of no use to anybody – it wouldn’t help Thomas Tuchel one bit.”

It is believed that “talks” between Chelsea and Inter are “ongoing” as they look to hash out a deal for de Vrij, and it is believed that negotiations are being handled separately to those with Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku is seemingly determined to return to Inter, but the Serie A club can only afford to loan the 28-year-old, which is not an arrangement that would be acceptable to the Blues. Fans on Twitter are, however, split on whether a deal would be a good idea if Skriniar moved in the other direction:

Whether United would be keen on doing a deal at that price, it is doubtful. The Dutchman only cost €15m (£12.85m) when he joined the Nerazzurri, and his performances have hardly merited his valuation skyrocketing almost threefold.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is not expected to remain at Old Trafford, leaving room for Dumfries to come in and be a more attack-minded option on the right flank.

Reports in Italy last week had linked de Vrij with Chelsea, and it was suggested that Inter may only want around €15m (£13m) to sell the player. The main reason for that is the Dutchman only has a year left on his contract at the San Siro.

“I’ve always been adamant that RB Leipzig are determined not to sell, so it’s not an easy one for Arsenal. So far, Leipzig have not received any offers from the Gunners for Christopher Nkunku, but I can reveal that Chelsea have been following him for some time.”

Players like Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Dele Alli all failed to fill the void...
