Football News: Will Harry Maguire be beaten on Manchester United exit door by Scott McTominay and Eric Bailly?
Chelsea's interest in Manchester United skipper Harry Maguire is interesting. He hasn't been in his best form since last season, so the Blues eyeing him seems counter-intuitive
Erik Ten Hag giving earful instructions to Scott McTominayManchester United might not accept the proposal, but the report suggests that Chelsea is keen on ushering Maguire to west London. So they will try to appease United's attempts to sign Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic.
Currently, Chelsea is in desperate need of a centre-half and reports have implied that it could be part of a new plan to get Leicester City to loosen their hold over Wesley Fofana.
It is difficult to imagine the Foxes keeping stance now that the player has specifically asked to be benched for their encounter against Southampton on Saturday.
Maguire has not made any requests, but Erik ten Hag could decide to increase Raphael Varane's game time.
Scott McTominay and Eric Bailey about to depart?
Manchester United are one of the few teams making the headlines even though the transfer is about to close. Newcastle United and West Ham are two of the five Premier League clubs currently targetting Man Utd midfielder Scott McTominay.
The remaining teams are Everton, Leicester City and Southampton. However, it is unlikely that McTominay will depart this summer. Most importantly, the matter could actualise into a loan move in January.
One of the players taking an exit is Eric Bailly, as Olympique Marseille is ready to sign Ivory Coast international either on loan or strike a permanent deal.
According to reports, Aaron Wan-Bissaka would be returning to Crystal Palace, and Phil Jones could be the last player remaining among unwanted defenders at Old Trafford.
Emerson to join West Ham
The deal had fallen through the previous week, but Emerson could have examined West Ham's gameplay and decided he could have a future with the Hammers.
Emerson, who has been in Chelsea for more than four years and made just 33 appearances in the Premier League, will join West Ham. The deal will be built around a fee worth £13million in addition to another £ 2 million.
The agreement should be done in the next few days, and the deal will be done.
Aston Villa might switch to Jan Bednarek
Aston Villa has contacted Southampton over a possible deal for defender Jan Bednarek, as suggested by reports. Villa has a strong team of centre-halves, but Diego Carlos has sustained an injury.
He is unwilling to establish contact with Ezri Konsa or Kortney Hause, who is probably leaving the Villans on loan for Watford in the coming week.
Polish player Bednarek might be a good alternative, but the Saints want to give him away, which could benefit them as he was purchased for £ 4 million in 2017.
