Jadon Sancho close to £100m Manchester United move

Jadon Sancho set for Manchester United, Chelsea target Ben Chilwell suffers injury, Todd Cantwell wanted by Leicester City, and Dani Ceballos may join Arsenal permanently.

Solskjaer pushes for Sancho  

The Sun reports that Manchester United are close to a deal for Jadon Sancho, with a fee of £100 million mentioned for the 20-year-old England international. Borussia Dortmund are prepared to sell, and United are making room for him in the squad. Jesse Lingard is wanted by both Milan clubs, and Inter are keen to extend Alexis Sanchez’s loan deal for next season. 

***: Getting rid of Sanchez would be the most important thing for United because he clearly does not want to be in Manchester, and losing Lingard’s slightly suspect mentality would also be of benefit. Adding Sancho would give Daniel James time to develop and take the pressure off the three of Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford.

Chelsea target Chilwell could be out for months

There is a potential hiccup in the potential move of Ben Chilwell from Leicester City to Chelsea. The Telegraph reports that the 23-year-old has been ruled out with plantar fasciitis, and while he is expected back for pre-season he may struggle to hit the ground running upon his return.

Cantwell could stay in Premier League 

Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell may yet remain in the Premier League, despite his current club’s relegation. The 22-year-old is wanted by Newcastle United and Leicester City, but they may face stiff competition as Cantwell is also being watched by Manchester City and United, Tottenham Hotspur and German champions Bayern Munich.

Ceballos set for Arsenal stay

Arsenal have received a boost in their attempts to sign Dani Ceballos on a permanent deal. The 23-year-old Spanish midfielder has sparked into life under Mikel Arteta post-lockdown and Arsenal are keen to keep him. That is helped by Real Madrid’s financial position, reports the Mirror, and as such they are ready to do a deal to raise funds to boost their balance.
