Rumour Reel: Hammers hunt Gomez, Swans eye double deal while Conte keen on Maia

Francesco Guidolin reportedly wanted to bring in Llorente, but his agent ruled out a move in favour of staying at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Chadli has two years left on his Spurs contract, but became frustrated at the lack of first team playing time and missed out on a Belgium Euro 2016 squad spot. Swansea have reportedly already had an opening bid rejected but will attempt to enter talks this week.

Meanwhile, the Welsh outfit want Ulloa, who scored six goals during Leicester’s incredible Premier League triumph, but like Chadli, is concerned about playing time after Claudio Ranieri signed Ahmed Musa.

Conte keen on Maia

Thiago Maia is a promising youngster making a name for himself in Brazil. The defensive midfielder has anchored the Santos midfield for two years, and seems his time has come to move to Europe.

According to reports in Brazil, Chelsea have scheduled a meeting with Maia’s family and agent in an attempt to work out a deal to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

The deal is reportedly worth around £15m, Santos currently own 100 per cent of the player’s financial rights but would have to give the player around £4.5m, as there is a clause that entails that 30 per cent of the transfer fee would go to the player.

Maia will be in action for Brazil at Rio 2016, meaning Blues fans will get a chance to scout their potential player.
