Today’s fluff is charming
Big clubs can only really sell to rivals nowadays, leaving them with a tough decision. Chelsea have packed off quite a few players this summer to teams they will be battling for Champions League places. The latest potential move is Levi Colwill to Liverpool. The centre-back impressed at Brighton last season and over the summer in the European Under-21 Championship, so might fancy heading to a team where he has a chance of starting. Someone the Blues are more than happy to let go is Trevoh Chalobah, if they receive the right offer.
The Brazilian connection is strong at Arsenal already and sporting director Edu is eager to add another compatriot to the roster. He has flown home to open talks with Grêmio over Bitello, a 23-year-old midfielder, who would cost £8.5m.
