Europa League winners Chelsea are reportedly keen to sign Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha during the January transfer market which opens again in the next few weeks.

According to The Independent, Chelsea want to sign the in-form Zaha if their transfer ban is overturned at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).

Chelsea are in the midst of a two-window transfer ban imposed on them by world football’s governing body FIFA due to their culpability in the signing of underage players.

The Blues had earlier made an appeal to FIFA over the transfer ban and it was thrown out thereby prompting them to take the matter to CAS.

Chelsea were unable to sign players in the summer as they served the first part of the punishment.

They will serve the second part of the punishment in the January transfer window if the ban is not overturned.

Wilfried Zaha was a transfer target for both Everton and Arsenal in the summer but the two clubs were unable to produce the £80m transfer fee ended to sign him.

Recent reports claimed that Crystal Palace have slammed a £70m asking price on him ahead of January transfer window.

Zaha has scored two goals in the last three games for Crystal Palace.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will have to wait for his dream move to Real Madrid if reports coming out of the media is anything to go by.

According to sources close to ESPN, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez won’t spend more than €50m on Paul Pogba and that would effectively rule out a move for him.

Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo had earlier talked about what is needed to sign Paul Pogba from Manchester United.

It was disclosed that Real Madrid will have to pay at least £120m to prise Paul Pogba away from the Red Devils.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is a big fan of his compatriot Pogba and he pushed for his transfer in the summer but nothing tangible came out of it partly due to the financial implications of a possible transfer for him.

Paul Pogba previously talked about Real Madrid in glowing terms and he might have to wait for his chance to join the Los Merengues.

The Frenchman is currently out injured with an ankle problem that has restricted him to just six games this season.

He could make his return from injury for the blockbuster Manchester Derby clash in the Premier League this weekend.

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has been nominated for the Premier League Goal of the Month for November.

The Nigerian-born England international has made the list of eight nominees for the Goal of the Month Award for last month.

Others on the list of nominees for the Goal of the Month for November include Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), Jonjo Shelvey (Newcastle United), Harry Wilson (Bournemouth), Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Joao Moutinho (Wolverhampton Wanderers) and Fabinho (Liverpool).

Europa League winners Chelsea are free to sign players in the January transfer window after their transfer ban was lifted earlier today.

Chelsea were given a two-window transfer ban by FIFA earlier this year for their involvement with underage players and that prompted them to take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) after their appeal to FIFA was turned down.

The Blues have already served a transfer window ban during this summer’s transfer window.

The CAS hearing took place earlier today and the FIFA ruling was partially upheld but the transfer ban was reduced from two transfer windows to one transfer window which had already been served by Chelsea in the summer.

The latest development means that the Blues have the opportunity to sign Zaha from fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace.

According to the Independent, Chelsea will have to pay as much as £70m for Zaha if they want to sign the Ivorian international player who has scored two goals in the last three league games for Crystal Palace.

Ex-Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton and Espanyol manager Mauricio Pochettino is no longer in the running for the vacant managerial job at German champions Bayern Munich.

This is according to the newest reports emanating from the German media which revealed that Mauricio Pochettino won’t be the man to replace Niko Kovac at Bayern Munich.

The Bavarian giants sacked Niko Kovac last month shortly after the 5-1 thrashing handed out to them by Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga.

Apart from Mauricio Pochettino who lost his job at Spurs last month and was replaced by Jose Mourinho, the likes of Maximiliano Allegri, Arsene Wenger, Ralf Rangnick and Thomas Tuchel have been linked with the Bayern Munich job.

Pochettino was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur last month after he led the team to their worst start in the Premier League for many years.

The Argentine tactician has been linked with the managerial job at Arsenal and Manchester United though the former is more likely at this point since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still in his job as the Red Devils boss.

Arsenal are looking for a replacement for manager Unai Emery and Mauricio Pochettino is said to be on their shortlist.

West London giants Chelsea have been backed to pick up the three points on offer for the league game at the home of Everton this weekend.

For Manchester United, Paul Pogba is expected to return to the squad after two months out with an ankle problem.

According to Andy Murray, Manchester City will beat Manchester United 3-1 to maintain the pressure on leaders Liverpool.
