Chelsea far from done<\/p>\n

The Blues have made Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers their top target for the remainder of the transfer window.<\/p>\n

Villa boss\u00a0Unai Emery<\/a>\u00a0is also keen on being reunited with Blues\u00a0striker\u00a0Nicolas Jackson<\/a>\u00a0after working with him at\u00a0Villarreal.<\/p>\n

New world champions\u00a0Chelsea<\/a>\u00a0have already spent more than \u00a3130million on adding Joao\u00a0Pedro,\u00a0Liam Delap\u00a0and\u00a0Jamie Gittens\u00a0to their array of forward options.<\/p>\n

But they are ready to push the boat out to bring in\u00a0England\u00a0star Rogers, who is valued at \u00a380m or more.<\/p>\n

A partial-swap deal involving Jackson is NOT on the cards because financial rules make separate transfers more attractive.<\/p>\n

Villa would love to find a way to stay within Premier League Profit and\u00a0Sustainability\u00a0Rules and\u00a0Uefa\u00a0regulations without selling Rogers at all.<\/p>\n

But if the Midlanders are unable to bring in decent fees for other bankable stars like\u00a0Ollie Watkins<\/a>, Emi Martinez and\u00a0Leon Bailey, they could be forced to cash in on their prime asset.<\/p>\n

\"BIRMINGHAM,<\/a>Wissa eyed by Newcastle and Tottenham<\/p>\n

More of Brentford’s key players have been linked with exits this summer, with Yoane Wissa the latest name to attract interest from other clubs.<\/p>\n

Newcastle turned their attention to the forward when they ended their pursuit of Liverpool-bound Hugo Ekitike.<\/p>\n

But Wissa would prefer to link up with old boss Thomas Frank at Tottenham this summer, with Spurs also said to be interested in the 28-year-old.<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest have also reignited their interest in Wissa after they saw a \u00a325million bid turned down in January.<\/p>\n

Brentford’s reluctance to part with the striker may depend on whether or not Bryan Mbeumo finally completes a move to Manchester United in the near future.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Isak EXCLUSIVE<\/p>\n

Newcastle’s Saudi owners will refuse to sell Alexander Isak – even if he wants to talk to Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Magpies<\/a>\u00a0insist the \u00a3120million Sweden hitman\u00a0is not for sale at any price<\/a>\u00a0after an approach from the Premier League champions for last season\u2019s 27-goal top scorer.<\/p>\n

sak\u2019s camp are still upset over the lack of a new deal to keep him at St James\u2019 Park which has given\u00a0Liverpool<\/a>\u00a0hope they can lure him away.<\/p>\n

Amid the stand-off, Arne Slot\u2019s Reds have\u00a0hijacked Newcastle\u2019s swoop to bring in Hugo Ekitike<\/a>\u00a0from Frankfurt to partner him.<\/p>\n

The Bundesliga club rejected a \u00a370m bid from Newcastle on Tuesday but Liverpool are now in talks and believe a fee closer to \u00a380m will help them land the French ace, who has already agreed a six-year contract deal.<\/p>\n

Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan is backing boss Eddie Howe by refusing to cash in for a British record fee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea far from done The Blues have made Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers their top target for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[59,3028,3653,3029,101,110,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-6247","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-live-blogs","10":"tag-section-sportfootball","11":"tag-sport-live-blogs","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-transfer-news","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
