Football rumours: Ben Chilwell and Casemiro linked with moves to Turkey
What the papers say
Chelsea are open to loaning 27-year-old left-back Ben Chilwell to Turkey, however, they have yet to receive any offers, reports the Telegraph.
Chelsea and Greece’s AEK Athens are in negotiations for the transfer of 21-year-old Ivory Coast forward David Datro Fofana, says the Daily Mail.
The Telegraph reports Tottenham have struck an unusual deal that gives the club a two-week window to sign 22-year-old American Johnny Cardoso from Real Betis. The Premier League outfit have secured a ‘priority option’ for the United States international and will fork out more than £21 million for the player if a deal goes through.
