LUKAKU ON CHELSEA SHORTLIST

Chelsea are interested in re-signing striker Romelu Lukaku, but any bid for the Belgian has been delayed by Everton’s search for a new manager.

The Daily Telegraph claims Lukaku wants to re-join Chelsea, but he has also attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The 23-year-old could team up with Alvaro Morata on his return to Stamford Bridge, with the futures of Alexandre Pato, Loic Remy and Diego Costa leaving Chelsea with a potential striker shortage.

Lukaku scored 25 goals in 46 appearances for the Toffees last term, but he was unable to help Roberto Martinez keep his job at Goodison Park after the club finished the season in 11th position.

JUVE EYE MORATA REPLACEMENT

Juventus have drawn up a list of targets they would like to sign should Alvaro Morata leave the club this summer.

The 23-year-old Spaniard is widely expected to leave the Serie A champions this summer via former club Real Madrid, who are expected to activate Morata’s buy-back clue before selling him on.

The Bianconeri are expected to land a £22m windfall from the sale of Morata, and it appears they've wasted no time in plotting how to spend it, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Italian sports daily claim Juve would like to bring Edinson Cavani, Christian Benteke or Romelu Lukaku to Turin in Morata’s place.

Burnley will make up to £60m available to manager Sean Dyche ahead of their Premier League return.

Jaap Stam is closing in on a deal to takeover as Reading manager within the coming days, according to the Daily Mail.

The Royals recently axed Brian McDermott after a poor end to the season following his return to Berkshire late in 2015.

League One outfit Port Vale are reportedly in advances talks with 39-year-old Finnish manager Shefki Kuqi, according to Sky Sports.

Vale are currently managerless after previous manager Rob Page departed for Northampton Town, after Chris Wilder left his role as the Cobblers’ manager to move to Sheffield United, after guiding Town to the League Two title under spectacular circumstances.

After finishing 12th in League One last season, Vale are hoping that their new manager can push them on and get them ready for a play-off push.

Kuqi had a successful playing career, turning out for the likes of Ipswich, Newcastle and Crystal Palace, whilst making 62 appearances for Finland, but has very little managerial experience, having only begun his managerial career in 2014.

After spells with Finnish clubs FK Honka and PK-35 Vantaa, Kuqi could finally be ready for a shot at England, but for now, he is not the favourite, with Jose Morais currently the favourite to get the job on a permanent basis.

Liverpool are just ‘one step away’ from signing Porto midfielder Hector Herrera, according to reports in Mexico.

The 26-year-old had been on the brink of signing for Serie A side Napoli but Jurgen Klopp is reported to have made a late swoop for the Mexico international, with a move to Anfield now imminent.

If completed, Herrera would become the fourth signing of Klopp’s brief tenure on Merseyside following his capture of Joel Matip, Marko Grujic early this year, and Mainz goalkeeper Loris Karius earlier this summer.

Herrera is currently in action at the Copa America, where he scored Mexico's third goal in 3-1 victory over Uruguay on Monday.

ARSENAL FEAR VARDY SNUB

Arsenal are growing concerned that they may miss out on Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Gunners’ inability to conclude a deal before Euro 2016 has led Arsene Wenger to fear the Foxes frontman could remain at the King Power Stadium.

Vardy’s £20million release clause has been triggered but that failed to yield the result Arsenal wanted, with the striker jetting off to Chantilly with Roy Hodgson’s England squad.

The stall in negotiations has reportedly given Leicester the chance to draft up an improved contract for Vardy, with the Premier League champions keen to keep hold of one of their prized assets.

POOL SIGN ORRELL

Hartlepool have snapped up young Chesterfield striker Jake Orrell, the Sky Bet League Two club have announced.
