    JULIAN DRAXLER

    Julian Draxler’s time at PSG is nearing to an end, with the player’s agent pushing for a move to Bayern Munich, L’Equipe reports.

    The German wide-man only moved to the French capital in a deal worth £40million from Schalke in January, but is now surplus to requirements after Neymar’s arrival to the club.

    The 23-year-old, who is still regarded as one of the premier young talents in world football, has no shortage of offers with Monaco and Liverpool said to be interested in securing his services.

    SPORT360 VERDICT

    With Arjen Robben (33) and Franck Ribery (34) both heading into their mid-30s, Bayern are in desperate need of refreshing their forward line.

    Bayern have both the financial clout and the attraction of competing for major trophies so this is a deal they could seal.

    KASPER DOLBERG

    With Kylian Mbappe edging closer to a move to Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco are seeking his replacement, L’Equipe reports.

    The French Riviera side wish to sign Danish wonderkid Kasper Dolberg from Ajax for €50 million.

    At just 19, Dolberg was in red-hot form last season, firing 16 goals in 28 Eredivisie appearances.

    His exploits have well and truly put his name in lights, and as a result, speculation is rich as to where his future might lie.

    RATING: 4/10

    Speculation surrounding Dolberg will likely dominate the transfer agenda for the rest of the year – if no move is forced through this transfer window.

    The feeling among the Dutch press is the teen will stay in Holland for at least one more season but a big-money offer would really test Ajax’s resolve.

    FERNANDO LLORENTE

    Chelsea are set to make a £15 million bid for Swansea striker Fernando Llorente before the end of the transfer window, according to the Daily Telegraph.

    Swansea turned down a bid in January, but Antonio Conte remains keen to add the Spaniard to his squad after working with him at Juventus.

    The Blues are in desperate need of an attacker following Diego Costa’s refusal to return to Stamford Bridge.

    However, Swansea are keen to keep hold of a player whose 15 goals last season helped them retain their Premier League status despite him being in the last year of his contract.

    RATING: 7/10

    SPORT360 VERDICT

    With Costa’s ongoing absence, Chelsea have just Morata and Batshuayi as attacking options and that would appear wafer thin given the added fixtures this season.

    Despite being 32, Llorente is still clearly a class act but it remains to be seen whether he wants to swap first team football at Liberty Stadium for a place on the bench in West London.
