Rumour Reel: Foxes track Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane on the move?

Klopp chasing Chilwell

Dominating Liverpool’s expected summer splurge are continued whispers that Bayern Munich playmaker Mario Gotze is on the verge of arriving at Anfield – for a cut-price £20m deal.

Yet, perhaps more interestingly, Jurgen Kloop looks set to address the Reds’ recurrent left back problem by poaching Leicester’s Ben Chilwell, with the young Englishman also a Gunners target. The teenage talent is stuck firmly behind Christian Fuchs in the Foxes full back pecking order, which could open the door for the Merseysiders to snatch the defender.

Conte keen on Koulibaly

While, current Italy and incoming Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has already been linked to a wealth of Serie A players, so here is one more mooted move for good measure.

Napoli and Senegal centre half Kalidou Koulibaly has attracted plaudits for his dominant defensive displays for the Little Donkeys, and Conte could move to capture the 24-year-old this summer, with the Stamford Bridge Blues in need of backline refreshment.

With rumours that Chelsea number one Thibaut Courtois could be on his way out, Conte is also believed to have an eye on another Italy-based star in Inter Milan post protector Samir Handanovic, who is now 31 but rated at a £15m price if he is to be poached from the San Siro side.

Midfielder on Man Utd radar?

Finally, elsewhere in England, FA Cup winners Manchester United appear to be already planning a summer makeover, with Sevilla defensive shield and Poland deep playmaker Grzegorz Krychowiak the latest name out of the hat to join the Red Devils’ transfer revolution.

Canny midfielder and recent Europa League winner Krychowiak could be drafted in to steady the ship, with Michael Carrick’s contract set to expire, Morgan Schneiderlin out of form and Bastian Schweinsteiger injured.
