Chelsea interested in midfield quartet, promoted Newcastle keen on Arsenal forward

Chelsea are interested in Leicester midfielder DANNY DRINKWATER, according to the Daily Mail, who report that the England international is on a list which also includes Bayern Munich’s RENATO SANCHES, Arsenal’s ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN and Everton’s ROSS BARKLEY.

The Daily Mirror say Barkley will have to lower his wage demands to join Tottenham, who are not willing to pay the £120,000-a-week wages the 23-year-old England midfielder turned down at Goodison Park.

The Evening Standard claim Newcastle have entered the chase for LUCAS PEREZ but are as yet not ready to match Arsenal’s £13.4million valuation.
