- As the Chelsea look to offload Falcao and Costa at the end of the season, it has been suggested by Telegraph that Mourinho is considering a £20 million move for West Bromwich Albion’s Saido Berahino in January.

Berahino has only 18 months left on his contract and he will also boost Chelsea’s home-grown player quota. The England international has proven he can score goals in the Premier League, registering 14 last season and 20 in all competitions.

- Manchester United are on high alert on Neymar’s situation at Barcelona and reports have emitted this morning in Spain that the player could be forced to move out of the club due to the tax evasion probe. According to TalkSport, Neymar’s father is growing frustrated with the on-going investigations and has hinted at his son’s exit from the Camp Nou.

Reports during summer suggested that the Red Devils were keen on landing the Brazillian star at Old Trafford and the 20-time English Champions will be ready to pounce if Neymar decides to leave Spain.
