Golovin was a star for Russia in the World Cup

Chelsea are set to compete with Arsenal for Russia's World Cup star Aleksandr Golovin, according to The Sun.

Juventus were also interested in the Russian ace but after having spent £105m on Ronaldo, it's safe to say that they would struggle to keep up with a bidding war this summer.

How might Aleksandr Golovin fit into the current Chelsea squad?

Golovin has shown the world what he's capable of this summer. He weaves in and out of defenders as if it was nothing, and even scores the occasional goal when he likes. Golovin would slot easily into the Chelsea squad and would render the Blues a force to be reckoned with next season.

Playing alongside new signing Jorginho, the pair would undoubtedly tear up opposition defences and dictate the play together.

Rumour possibility: 7/10

Aleksandr Golovin's mother fuelled speculation about the player being off to Stamford Bridge after she admitted talks between Chelsea and CSKA Moscow were progressing.

When asked about her son moving to Chelsea, she said: “Yes, now there are talks between the clubs, but we still do not know the details.

Chelsea still have a great deal of cash left in their transfer kitty, so a signing like Golovin could very well still be on the cards.
