Let us know your thoughts.
JEAN MICHAEL SERI
Chelsea are competing against Man City to sign Nice star Jean-Michael Seri, according to The Sun.
The 25-year-old is one of the biggest talents in Europe, and Blues boss Antonio Conte is keen to bring him to Stamford Bridge before the end of the month.
The Italian is said to be unhappy with new signing Tiemoue Bakayoko – who has failed to make a positive impact since his switch from Monaco in August.
RATING: 7/10
VERDICT
The Nice playmaker has attracted plenty of interest from Premier League clubs after an outstanding 2016/17, scoring seven goals and providing nine assists in 34 appearances.
A totemic presence in Nice’s third place Ligue 1 finish, the Ivory Coast international has another two years remaining on his contract, but is expected to put pen to paper on a deal in the Premier League soon.
Seri’s greatest asset is his ability to keep possession and open up space for his teammates to exploit, an area that could potentially help Chelsea to score more goals through the influential Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata.
Where he suffers is his successful tackles percentage, an area which will need vast improvement if he is to excel in England.
DANIEL STURRIDGE
Sevilla and Inter Milan are interested in signing Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge this month, according to The Telegraph .
The England forward is chasing game time in a bid to increase his chances of going to this summer’s World Cup.
Despite a lack of minutes in recent months, the 28-year-old is still a class act and would be a welcome addition to any squad.
At his best, Sturridge was one of the first names on the Liverpool and England team sheets – but since 2015 injuries have curtailed his development as a player.
RATING: 7/10
VERDICT
With Celtic and Newcastle also interested in acquiring his services, any of these moves would help Sturridge rediscover his form and goal scoring drought.
It may be hard to usurp Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Tammy Abraham or Jamie Vardy for the four striker positions in the England squad, but the Birmingham native needs to chase first team football if he is to be named in Gareth Southgate’s side for Russia.
