    DANIELE RUGANI

    Chelsea have made the Juventus defender one of their top summer transfer targets, according to Italian news outlet Calciomercato.

    The Blues are ready to table a £26m (Dh126m) offer for the 23-year-old, with the Italy international centre-back viewed as a long-term replacement for Gary Cahill.

    Given Brazilian David Luiz is set to depart Stamford Bridge as well, Chelsea’s defence could have a new look next season as Roman Abramovich also weighs up boss Antonio Conte’s future.

    Rugani, who started his career at Empoli, was not a regular by any stretch of the imagination last term but is highly-rated nonetheless.

    Rugani has emerged as a star at the Old Lady.

    FELIPE ANDERSON

    West Ham have moved a step closer to clinching a deal for the Lazio attacker, The Mirror reports.

    It is set to be a busy summer of incomings and outgoings at the London Stadium, with new Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini looking to strengthen in several areas.

    Anderson endured a hit and miss season in Serie A but is likely to join Swansea duo Lukasz Fabianski and Alfie Mawson in making moves to east London in the coming days.

    Following a difficult Premier League campaign last term, West Ham want to ensure there is no repeat and will pay as much as £27m (Dh131m) for the 25-year-old.

    Anderson is set to ply his trade in the Premier League.

    ALEKSANDAR MITROVIC

    Fulham are tipped to seal a permanent move for the Serbia international following his stunning loan stint with the Cottagers.

    According to Sky Sports News, the newly-promoted west London club will offer his parent club Newcastle £20m for his services.

    The former Anderlecht man was frozen out by Rafael Benitez last term but reignited his career during the second-half of this past season, scoring 12 goals in 20 appearances for Fulham as they returned to the Premier League.

    Mitrovic, who joined the St James’ Park side in 2015, has two years remaining on his Tyneside deal – although he is unlikely to see that through.
