It is no longer news that English Premier League outfit Chelsea are keen on the signature of Russia topflight outfit Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Leandro Paredes.

It is reported that a bid has been tabled by the West London side for the star midfielder with talks expected to be opened in coming days after an agreement has been reached between both parties.

According to the report, the Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is at the forefront of the push for Leandro Paredes and is ready to do all within his powers to have him join the Stamford Bridge.

However, former Zenit St Petersburg chief Oreste Cinquini revealed that the Chelsea boss has been a long term suitor of the star player.

According to him, the Italian boss made an attempt for Leandro Paredes when he was in charge at Napoli but the deal failed along the way as both sides failed to agree on terms.

The former Zenit’s sporting director Cinquini revealed that Argentina international went ahead to make the decision to join the Russian side, snubbing the English Premier League side.

However, talks with Zenit are ongoing with a deal expected to be sealed before this January winter transfer window.

Paris St-German have reportedly joined Chelsea in the race to sign Zenit Saint Petersburg midfielder Leandro Paredes, that’s according Sky Sports.

The Blues were said to be interested in the star player this month as Sarri looks for Cesc Fabregas’ replacement but this report will surely be a disappointing one for him.

The Ligue 1 Champions are believed to have tabled a £31m offer for the Argentine player who joined the Russian side from Empoli in 2017.

Considering the free-spending nature of the Parc Des Princes outfits, Sarri stands a very slim chance of beating the French side to the player’s signature this month.

Thomas Tuchel’s side have their eyes on this year’s Champions League trophy and they are doing everything possible to achieve their ultimate goal, even if it cost them a whole lot of money.

They set a new record when former manager Unai Emery signed Neymar from Barcelona for £200m last winter but the Brazilian couldn’t help them progress to the semi-finals of the competition during the previous season.

Tuchel’s strikers are in fine form and they can score goals against any team in Europe, nonetheless, the manager believes there’s a need to upgrade his midfield setup before the competition resume next month.

As much as it appears the Blues will miss out on Leandro’s signature, it’s not over yet because Abramovich might add to his already-made £30m offer so as to defeat PSG in the race for the 24-year-old defensive /attacking midfielder.

English Premier League side Chelsea left full-back Emerson Palmieri is reported to be heading to the Italian Serie outfit Juventus in this winter transfer window.

Emerson Palmieri has been out of favour in the Blues team and he hopes to find a new life should a deal fall in place for him to the Italian Serie A outfit.

Juventus have big need for Emerson Palmieri and they hope to land him in this winter transfer window with manager Max Allegri keen to have him as a replacement for Leonardo Spinazzola who is currently in bad form.

• Star player pushing for Liverpool exit as he awaits offers

Emerson Palmieri joined the West London die last summer for a fee of £18 million from another Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma but has yet to find enough expression in the Maurizio Sarri team knowing that he has not had enough time.

Despite seeing only 11 games so far and scoring a goal across all competition, Emerson Palmieri is tipped to be a big potential and he is expected to improve better when he secure regular playing time.

It is therefore unsure if the West London side will be ready to part ways with Emerson Palmieri at the moment know g that they have got big need for options in the team.

It has been revealed that English Premier League side Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata will no longer leave the club for Spanish La Liga outfit Sevilla.

Alvaro Morata has been linked away from the Stamford Bridge as he has fallen out with manager Maurizio Sarri for his poor form which was no longer acceptable.

A number of suitors came knocking for the former Real Madrid player but Sevilla were believed to be leading in the race with Alvaro Morata’s agent flying in from Spain to hold discussions with tee Blues on the matter.

However, latest reports according to Sevilla chief Joaquin Caparros reveal that a move for Alvaro Morata collapsed as talks were not successful between both clubs.

It was hinted that the deal failed to fall through as a result of financial commitment which the Spanish side cannot afford for the star player.

This, therefore, means that Alvaro Morata will remain at the West London side or rather have a move to other destination should an offer be made.

Meanwhile, the West London side are believed to be preparing the announcement of Argentina international striker Gonzalo Higuain who will come in to replace Alvaro Morata at the Stamford Bridge.

English Premier League duo, Liverpool and Chelsea have emerged as potential clubs for Italian Serie A outfit Lazio striker Ciro Immobile, with both sides hoping to finalize a deal for him before the end of the winter transfer window.

Chelsea are expected to part ways with Spanish striker Alvaro Morata and they have been keen to land a cover for him with Ciro Immobile emerging as a target.

• Man United Must Pay Staggering Fee For Spain-based Transfer Target

So far, Ciro Immobile has been able to score 80 goals in 112 appearances for the Italian Serie A side which makes him one of the best strikers in the league from the past season.

Ciro Immobile has had 35 caps for the Italian national team and has been able to pull 13 goals as well which gives him the right credentials to fit into the Premier League big guns.

Suggestions are that Liverpool are placed at a better advantage knowing that they currently sit top in the Premier League table and stand the chance of winning a title but the West London side have continued to struggle to seal their fourth position for a Champions League qualification.

It has been reported that English Premier League outfit Chelsea are closing in on a deal for Zenit St. Petersburg star midfielder Leandro Paredes and could have the deal completed in coming days.

Leandro Paredes’ name has just begun to ring after his link with the West London side as he was earlier not a popular name with the Blues keen on his signature.

Leandro Paredes has been described as a perfect replacement for the former Barcelona and Arsenal player.

He is known to have perfect positioning and has the aggression to protect the team at the middle in addition to having the ability to link the defence with the attack with his acute passes.

Leandro Paredes has so far won 38 tackles and made 24 interceptions for his Russian side which is a major factor that has attracted the Blues side to wanting to secure his signature.

It is therefore not sure if an agreement for Leandro Paredes would be reached knowing that his side are not ready to part ways with him at the moment.

English Premier League outfit Chelsea are reported to be monitoring Heerenveen winger Arber Zeneli and could make a move for him before this January winter transfer window comes to an end.

Arber Zeneli will be out of contract with his club in June which makes him available this winter with no talks of a new deal on the table for him at the moment.

Should Heerenveen refuse to have the Kosovo international, 23 leave before the end of this month, they risk the chance of losing him for free at the end of the season with the keen interest coming from the West London side for him.

The Blues will face a number of competitions from English Premier League sides as they are all keen to land the player as well.

Suggestions are that Arber Zeneli will not hesitate to jump into an offer from the West London side when it is finally tabled.

The Blues will now join the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, and Spanish La Liga outfit Real Madrid to compete for the signature of the star playmaker.

Everton are therefore not alone in the race for Michy Batshuayi as French Ligue 1 outfit Monaco are also all out for his signature with the Thierry Henry side out to have a perfect second half of the season by strengthening their squad.

Monaco recently landed Spain international Cesc Fabregas from the West London outfit which means Michy Batshuayi will be the second capture from the Stamford Bridge should they win the race ahead of Everton.
