Rumour Reel: Tottenham target Palermo playmaker Vazquez

The Saints enforcer has previously been linked with Arsenal and Spurs but it’s Leicester who are showing increased interest in his capture, though the move could be in place as a direct solution to N’Golo Kante’s heavily tipped exit.

France international midfielder Kante is linked with a host of top European clubs after an incredible campaign with the Foxes, including Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG, with former Celtic ace Wanyama seen as a suitable replacement.

Blues target Sevilla’s N’Zonzi

Following a hugely disappointing domestic season, Chelsea are aiming to rebuild and enjoy a rejuvenation next term under imminent Italian boss Antonio Conte, after his Euro 2016 efforts come to an end.

One reported target is Sevilla holding midfielder Steven N’Zonzi, with the former Stoke City anchorman having enjoyed another strong season in Spain, as he helped Unai Emery’s men clinch the Europa League for a third straight campaign.

Conte will already have Nemanja Matic and John Mikel Obi in his inherited ranks this summer, but the Italy coach is keen on acquiring the Bathtubs battler, meaning Chelsea could splash out on the player’s £21m release clause.

Although, it’s unclear whether the ex-Blackburn Rovers midfielder would want to swap a side that will be contesting in the Champions League for one without any European football next season, but he may relish being a key member under Conte in the Premier League.
