1. Alex Sandro To Chelsea

What’s the story?
Juventus left-back, Alex Sandro, could be on the way to Stamford Bridge in the upcoming transfer window, but only if a bid of £52m is made, if reports from the Evening Standard are assumed to be true.
Should the deal take place?
As Antonio Conte looks to strengthen his back line for next season’s campaign which includes the UEFA Champions League and a hectic schedule, the Serie A left-back is one of the best in the world at that position right now, and a possible target for the Italian boss. However, with three years left on his current contract with the Old Lady and Marcos Alonso being Chelsea’s number one in that given position, staying at his current club might make more sense for the Brazilian.
Possibility of it happening
With AC Milan and China to battle in this race and Juventus fond of their super star, a deal might be tough to crack, hence having a possibility of 5/10.
2. Aleksandr Golovin To Arsenal
What’s the story?
As mentioned by Mirror, Arsene Wenger and his club could be close to signing £10 million valued Aleksandr Golovin to boost their Europa League campaign for the upcoming season and get their team back on track.
Should the deal take place?
After helping CSKA Moscow finish second in the Russian league last season, the 21-year-old midfielder has become a target for Chelsea, and primarily, Arsenal. With three goals and four assists in 20 appearances throughout the previous campaign, the player could be a valuable and cheap addition to the Emirates, as the fans desperately await new signings to bring much needed silverware into the cabinet.
Possibility of it happening
With his current contract running till 2021 and other clubs also interested, Arsenal might have a tough time securing this negotiation, and hence, the possibility of it happening are 6/10.
3. Michael Keane To Everton

What’s the story?
According to sources belonging to Sky Sports, Merseyside club Everton are ready to dive into the transfer market and chase after Michael Keane, a player they have identified as their number one target.
Should the deal take place?
Keane has become England’s major attraction because of his stellar, rock solid performances for Burnley over last season. The player featured in 39 games across last season, and with 1 year left on his contract, heading to a bigger club with bigger ambitions might make perfect sense, and help him boost his chances for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Possibility of it happening
With the defender keen to leave Burnley, Everton might be able to cash in perfectly on the opportunity, and thus, have a strong 8/10 chance of getting their man.
4. Radja Nainggolan Offered Roma Extension

What’s the story?
The midfielder is one of the most complete and lethal players in that area of the pitch these days, and despite being a hot summer target, he might be staying with Roma for a few more years to come. As per reports coming in from Calciomercato, the Italian Club has offered the main man in midfield a contract extension, which will keep him at the club till 2021, alongside wages falling in the £4m category.
Should the deal take place?
The player has been keenly observed by Inter Milan, United and Chelsea over the past few months, and with such big names on the chase, it might be wise from Roma’s director Monchi to quickly secure Nainggolan’s services and prevent him from walking out of the exit door. The man with 14 goals and 7 assists is a fan favourite among Roman fans and has himself admitted to wanting to stay, given his contract requirements are duly noted and matched.
Possibility of it happening
Not often is loyalty seen in the sport these days, but this could be one of those rare cases, as a strong 9/10 chance suggests that the midfielder is going nowhere.
