RUMOURS: Chelsea chase Monaco stars with Oscar windfall

Chelsea will look to add two new players to their squad with the funds generated by Oscar’s move to China, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The Brazil international is expected to finalise a transfer to Shanghai SIPG for a fee estimated at £60 million in January.

And the club see Monaco pair Djibril Sidibe and Tiemoue Bakayoko as prime candidates to fill the gap in the squad, although the French side are reluctant to sell.

Antonio Rudiger, Simon Kjaer, Michael Keane and Nicklas Sule also form part of Antonio Conte’s shortlist for the coming transfer window, as does Roma star Radja Nainggolan.
