Chelsea target Livramento
Chelsea are looking to re-sign Southampton ace and former academy product Tino Livramento.
According to The Mail, Chelsea have held talks with Saints about adding Livramento to Mauricio Pochettino's backline.
The Blues, though, would have to splash £38million for the right-back, just two years after selling him to St Mary's for a mere £8m.
A potential deal, however, would entail loaning the England Under-21 international back to Russell Martin's side.
The West Londoners, though, will deal with competition as Newcastle are in advanced talks with the 20-year-old.
However, the Magpies have yet to meet Southampton's asking price for the versatile defender.

Goalkeeping targets proving pricey
After having their bid for Andre Onana rejected, one name that keeps cropping up is FC Porto keeper, Diogo Costa.

David Raya has also been linked, with Brentford stating that his price is £40m.
This could be a far more realistic transfer for the Old Trafford outfit.

Arsenal linked to potential Laporte signing
It seems with all the players The Gunners are linked with that they must have struck oil underneath The Emirates stadium.
That would be the only way the club could afford all of these players and stay within the parameters of FFP.
Another player the club are linked to is Aymeric Laporte.
The reality is, Arsenal cannot spend in excess £300-400m this summer and a better option may be cultivating their home grown talent.
Jakub Kiwior is one such player and would save Mikel Arteta millions in transfer fees and wages.
This transfer window seems to be silly season for Gunners’ fans as they are linked with 90% of the professional footballers in Europe.
