Overview
- ESPN relays Sky Sports reporting that Chelsea can only complete both Garnacho and Xavi Simons deals if Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku and Tyrique George depart, with the club otherwise limited to at most one signing.
- Jackson missed Friday’s win at West Ham as he explores a transfer, and sources told ESPN that Aston Villa and Newcastle United are among the clubs interested.
- The Sun, citing Fabrizio Romano, reports Manchester United rejected the idea of including Tyrique George in a swap for Garnacho and that the George option was dropped weeks ago.
- The same reports say Garnacho has turned down other offers as he waits for Chelsea, reflecting his preference for the move.
- Manchester United are progressing on a deal for Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens with personal terms agreed and club-to-club talks ongoing, while ESPN notes talkSPORT reporting of Borussia Dortmund discussions over Carney Chukwuemeka and an expected move for Aaron Anselmino.
