According to TEAMtalk, Chukwuemeka is open to joining West Ham in the January transfer window after a tricky spell with Chelsea since his arrival. Separate reports had suggested that West Ham would be keen on signing the youngster on loan this month, but Chelsea are pointing to his £40m release clause.

Sammie Szmodics has four goals to his name after a summer transfer from Blackburn Rovers, whilst marquee signing Omari Hutchinson has two after his move from Chelsea in the summer - and so Bayo could be a strong addition to their ranks.

That being said, United will demand around £80 million to let him go this late in the window, which is nearly what Napoli bid earlier in January. However, if Nkunku leaves, Tanzi writes that Chelsea will have money to reinvest in the signing of Garnacho from Old Trafford.

Mainoo has been in reliably reported talks over a new deal at Old Trafford, as he seeks an upgrade on his £20,000-per-week wages, but Chelsea apparently remain in the background - ready to tempt the 19-year-old with a move to Stamford Bridge.
