Chelsea plan surprise Endrick move

Chelsea might not have made any signings yet during the January transfer window, but Real Madrid striker Endrick has emerged as a summer target for the Stamford Bridge side.

The Brazil international has been sent on loan to Lyon in France for the second half of this campaign, and though Real Madrid have no interest in selling the forward, that is not about to stop the Blues from launching an ambitious bid to sign the hitman.

Fabrizio Romano commented on the transfer rumour, with his understanding of the situation available here.

Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus both find themselves poised to be shown the door at the Emirates Stadium as they try to find a solution to beat Barcelona to the signing of the former Manchester City attacker.

Arsenal are said to be considering a swap deal with the pair, who have both been targets for Atletico Madrid in the past.
