Chelsea to sell James

In a bid to comply with financial fair play rules and avoid a points penalty, Chelsea are reportedly planning to shock fans by selling captain Reece James this summer.

The Blues recently announced a loss of £90.1 million in 2023, which raised concerns that they would fall foul of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, PSR.

The easiest way to comply with PSR is to sell homegrown, academy players, with those deals counting as 100 per cent pure profit, and with this in mind, Chelsea has been expected to offload Conor Gallagher and Ian Maatsen.

However, the Times reported that James is now also on the chopping block, and the west London club believe they can generate in excess of £60 million for the right-back

Despite James being one of Chelsea’s most valuable players and their captain, the club hierarchy considers him dispensable, and getting a big return would help to allay Chelsea’s financial issues.

Transfer: Trabzonspor keen to extend Onuachu’s loan for another season

Trabzonspor want to take Southampton forward Paul Onuachu on loan for another season.

Onuachu joined the Turkish Super Lig side on a season-long loan last summer.

The Nigeria international has registered nine goals and three assists in 17 league appearances for Trabzonspor.

The Black Sea Storm are keen to sign the striker permanently but cannot meet up with Southampton’s €15 million valuation.

According to a report in Transfermarkt, Trabzonspor president, Ertugrul Dogan is pushing hard to have Onuachu at the club at least for another season.

A return to Southampton is highly unlikely for the lanky hitman, who struggled to establish himself during his six-month stay at the club.
