Today’s fluff eyes glory
It looks like Pierre-Emile Højbjerg will be packed off by Tottenham to anyone willing to take him. Spurs have earmarked Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher as the man to replace the Dane in the centre of midfield and, with the Blues’ record of sales this summer, they may be eager to let the England international move on to assist their love of spending cash money.
Chelsea have not bought anyone for a few days, so need to get back in the saddle. The latest starlet in their eyeline is Lyon’s Rayan Cherki. Todd Boehly and his mates are plotting a deal for the 19-year-old forward, who came through the French club’s academy and is valued at €40m.
