What’s the story?
Chelsea and their search for another centre forward signing still continues and in the wake of desperation, a surprising new name has emerged to be a part of the rumours. According to the Mirror, the Blues are planning a shocking move for Leicester City striker, Jamie Vardy.
Should the deal take place?
Although Conte has already bought Alvaro Morata this summer, the need to replace star striker Diego Costa still remains. In an attempt to fill the gap, the England international comes up as a name that is perfect to come to London. The striker is a Premier League winner and a prolific goal scorer, proving his worth to be a Chelsea centre forward. With the World Cup coming up next year, this might be the perfect move to cement his position in the England squad.
Possibility of it happening
The chances for this surprising deal reaching a positive conclusion for Antonio Conte’s side are 3/10.

What’s the story?
After finally admitting defeat in their pursuit of Philippe Coutinho, the Catalan club seemed to have found a name to shift all their attention towards. The team are now in the market for a completely different midfielder and according to reports coming in from the Mirror, Naby Keita is said to be the chosen one.
Should the deal take place?
The La Liga side’s representatives were present in Germany to watch RB Leipzig take on Schalke, where Naby Keita was in action. The player has recently signed a contract keeping him at the club for a while, with the release clause being £48 million, which can be activated from next summer. However, the side from Spain have more than enough money from the sale of Neymar and can easily lure the 22-year-old to join one of the biggest names in the sport. Ernesto Valverde needs major signings as disaster management and the Guinean could come to the Nou Camp and become a possible long term replacement for legend Andres Iniesta.
Possibility of it happening
The possibility of Keita coming to Barcelona is currently 6/10.
3. Andre Gomes To Juventus

What’s the story?
In their attempts to sign yet another midfielder, Juventus are said to be looking at Barcelona’s squad to do the needful. As per news mentioned by Tuttosport (via Football Espana), Andre Gomes has popped up as a target for the Old Lady and his unhappiness at the Nou Camp is a factor that influences the attention.
Should the deal take place?
The 24-year-old has found it tough to cement a regular starting spot at Barca and managed to begin only 17 games in his debut season with the club last year. In an attempt to revive his career and show the world why he was bought by the Catalan club, the player is eager to find some game time availability elsewhere. The Serie A champions want the player on loan but given Barca’s current position and the failure to reel in major signings so far, losing another name might make things worse to a point of no return.
Possibility of it happening
The possibility of Gomes heading to Juventus is currently 4/10.
4. Moussa Dembele To Marseille

What’s the story?
SFR Sport (via Goal.com) has recently reported that Marseille have identified Moussa Dembele as a forward signing this summer and are eager to complete the deal before the end of the month. The Celtic forward had a stellar 2016-17 season with the club and his fine performances have led to a lot of attraction from the big boys of Europe. The Ligue 1 club have a few other names in mind, but Dembele emerges as the number one target.
Should the deal take place?
The player scored a mind blowing 32 goals for his club last season as Brendan Rodgers’s side went on to win the league without losing a single domestic game. PSG have proven their ambitions to rise back to the top of the charts by splashing the cash on big names this summer and if Marseille want to give them a run for their money, Dembele will be a good step to begin with.
Possibility of it happening
The chances of this deal taking place are currently 5/10.
