    STEFAN SAVIC

    Chelsea face fierce competition from Juventus in the race to land the Atletico Midfield defender this summer, Sky Sport Italia reports.

    The 27-year-old Montenegro international, who was a stalwart in Diego Simeone’s defence last term, has spent three seasons in the Spanish capital but is thought to be interested in a move to the Premier League.

    Despite uncertainty surrounding the future of Antonio Conte, the Stamford Bridge club are hoping to strengthen their back-line in the summer transfer window with Savic emerging as a key target.

    Juventus, meanwhile, are on the lookout for a replacement for Stephan Lichtsteiner, who recently joined Arsenal.

    Savic is no stranger to the Premier League having spent a single season during 2011-12 with Manchester City.

    LUKASZ FABIANSKI

    West Ham are close to signing the Swansea goalkeeper and could get the deal over the line before he takes part in Poland’s World Cup opener against Senegal next Tuesday, according to the Daily Mirror.

    New Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is desperate to strengthen the east London club’s squad in all areas, with providing competition for Adrian in goal being a major priority.

    A move for former Arsenal man Fabianski is a distinct possibility given the Swans’ relegation from the Premier League.

    He is believed to want to continue to ply his trade in the top-flight and secure his future plans sooner rather than later, while West Ham have also been linked with his club team-mate Alfie Mawson.

    Lukasz Fabianski is expected to complete a move to West Ham.

    JAY DASILVA

    New Derby County boss Frank Lampard is on the verge of signing the young Chelsea star, according to the Daily Mirror.

    The 20-year-old defender, who has spent the past two seasons on loan at Charlton Athletic, is on the Rams’ radar and impressed in England under-21’s recent win over Mexico.

    Lampard, a Chelsea legend, is hoping to clinch a deal for the youngster by utilising his links with the Stamford Bridge club.

    However, there are a number of clubs reportedly in the running for Dasilva, who rose up through the youth ranks with the Blues.
