    KALIDOU KOULIBALY

    Chelsea are still monitoring the Napoli defender and could pounce for their long-term target as soon as Maurizio Sarri is unveiled to succeed Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge. According to the Sun, the Blues view the 26-year-old Senegalese international as the ideal replacement for Gary Cahill who turns 33 in December. Koulibaly, who has grown into being one of the standout centre-backs in the world, is available for around £80million (Dh404m) and is believed to be eager to re-unite with his former boss in west London.

    CHRISTIAN PULISIC

    Tottenham are interested in singing the resourceful Borussia Dortmund star, the Telegraph reports. The 19-year-old has been in impressive form for club and country – and is an icon in the American sports market. Pulisic would slot straight into the Lilywhites attack due to his versatility, with him being equally effective as either a winger or in a more central position. Dortmund currently value Pulisic at around £50million (Dh244.6m) and it remains to be seen whether any other Premier League club is prepared to get near to that price.
