Jose Mourinho continues to drop hints about bringing Wayne Rooney to Stamford Bridge. The 'Special One' has insisted he will not discuss any potential deal for the striker as long as he remains a Manchester United player, but did say Rooney is a player he “likes very much”.

Christian Benteke seems to be Spurs' number one target on their radar this summer and they have decided to make the first move in trying to secure his signature. Reports suggest that they will allow at least one of Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Scott Parker, Jake Livermore and Tom Huddlestone to leave as part of the deal.

Romelu Lukaku has apparently turned down a loan offer from West Ham. The Belgian striker who was on loan at West Brom last season, has also been linked with a move to Villa Park.
