Chelsea are set to make a move for yet another Arsenal player in the space of 7 months.

The Blues signed Olivier Giroud from the Emirates Stadium in January, and the French man helped them with some goals as Alvaro Morata was misfiring.

They seem to have been impressed enough by Giroud’s performances and they want to land yet another Arsenal player this summer.

According to Sun Sport, the Blues are plotting a £30 million move for Aaron Ramsey. The Welsh midfielder has just one year left on his current contract, but his representatives and the club seem to be far off in terms of reaching an agreement over a new deal.

Chelsea believe they can tempt the midfielder to move across town with more money and the promise of first-team football.

Unai Emery is confident that Ramsey would extend his current deal, however, the club wants to avoid the situation they faced with Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez last summer and they would sell him this summer if he refuses to commit to a new contract.

Chelsea flop, Tiemoue Bakayoko is a transfer target for AC Milan this summer.

The French man joined Chelsea from AS Monaco last summer but had a very underwhelming first season at Stamford Bridge that saw him lose his spot in the French national team for the World Cup.

He has returned for preseason training, but it seems he hasn’t gotten better as his mistake allowed AC Milan to equalize in their International Champions Cup match.

With Maurizio Sarri coming to Stamford Bridge with Jorginho, Milan want to sign Bakayoko as they believe they can bring the best out of him.

Sun Sport claims Genaro Gattuso’s side see Bakayoko as one of two midfielders who could help sure up their midfield, the other is Salzburg’s Diadie Samassekou.

Bakayoko’s experience in a big European league may see him edge the Malian and join the Italian giants should the Blues agree to sell.

Manchester United are planning to swoop for Barcelona’s Colombian defender, Yerry Mina after they were priced out of a deal for Harry Maguire.

Maguire emerged as Jose Mourinho’s main target two weeks ago, but Leicester City don’t want any fee that is less than £65 million for the England World Cup hero.

This fee has forced the Portuguese manager to turn his attention to Mina. Mina has been linked with moves to the Premier League all summer.

Everton and West Ham were eyeing him with a season-long loan reportedly in the works.

However, Manchester United are planning to make a permanent move for his services for £35 million.

Mina scored 3 goals for Colombia in Russia, but would still struggle to get playing time at Barcelona this season with Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti the first choice centre-back pairing. The Blaugrana have also signed Clement Lenglet and Malcom, the latter would need to be signed as a non-EU player, so Mina would have to give up his spot.
