| Arsenal have entered the race with Chelsea to sign Everton defender John Stones |
NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you all the latest transfer news and gossip coming out of Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal have entered the race with Chelsea to sign £30million-rated Everton defender John Stones, according to the Mirror.
The 21-year-old is a top transfer target for the Blues, who had four bids rejected for the the centre-back during the summer window.
And now the Gunners are reportedly eyeing the defender in a bid to boost their Premier League title chances.
Chelsea have been told to pay as much as £119m to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, claims the player's agent Mino Raiola.
The 16-year-old is already starting between the sticks for the Italian giants and is rapidly building a reputation as one of Europe brightest prospects.
Mourinho's Chelsea have struggled without first-choice stopper Thibaut Courtois, and replacement keeper Asmir Begovic hasn't proved to be a particularly solid deputy.
Speaking to Mediaset Premium Raiola said: "I'd compare him to a Modigliani. He's worth 170 million."
Chelsea are plotting a January swoop for Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain if Diego Costa fails to prove himself in the next two weeks, according to reports.
Costa has scored just four goals so far this season and has been given two weeks to prove he can fire Chelsea towards the top four otherwise they will move for a news forward, claim the Independent.
And the Metro claim that Higuain will be the man Jose Mourinho's side will approach in January if Costa fails to improve.
