Chelsea are said to be in talks over a shock swoop for Tyler Dibling as Jamie Gittens prepares to seal his switch to Stamford Bridge, while they could yet hijack Tottenham’s pursuit of West Ham star Mohammed Kudus. Manchester United may have got the green light to sign Victor Osimhen as they look to finally clinch the arrival of Bryan Mbeumo.

Newcastle themselves have looked into a deal previously. Madueke cost Chelsea around £35million in January 2023 when he returned to England from PSV Eindhoven. Since then he has been on a steady trajectory of improving year-on-year.
