Real Madrid target Endrick transfer hijack
French outlet Le10 Sport write that Chelsea are set to agree a £15m deal for the 18-year-old, and that the Blues have moved swiftly to ensure the deal is wrapped quickly.
The report also adds that Chelsea’s proposal ‘was considered more consistent with the player’s expectations’ as opposed to PSG and barring any late change of heart, Santos is set to arrive at Stamford Bridge in January. However, a tempting new option seems to have emerged which could prompt Santos to change his mind.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Santos is now on the radar of European champions Real Madrid, who are also eyeing a potential swoop for Endrick.

Todd Boehly faces Josko Gvardiol £60m dilemma
According to Corriere dello Sport, Josko Gvardiol is one of the most in-demand players in Europe thanks to his character, technique and personality and has caught the eye of Tottenham.
Leipzig turned down a £43million offer from Chelsea over the summer as the centre-back agreed to stay at the Red Bull Arena. With the interest from Tottenham and Chelsea since becoming suffocating, the German club will now demand £60m-68.5m in exchange for the talented ace.
Meanwhile, 14-time European champions Real Madrid are also tracking Gvardiol closely. So Leipzig could be resigned to losing the player much sooner than they would like to.
Todd Boehly will need to act swiftly if he is to avoid being drawn into a bidding war for Gvardiol.
Chelsea told to complete Jamal Musiala deal
The 19-year-old's time in Qatar is over after Germany were surprisingly eliminated from the World Cup at the group stage for the second tournament in a row, but the Bayern starlet's stock will continue to rise with his impressive displays. Having played in Chelsea's youth sides, as well as in England's, Glen Johnson believes that he would like to see the Germany winger back in England playing in the Premier League, stating: "I'd like to see Jamal Musiala in a Liverpool or back in a Chelsea shirt, especially with the way he's playing at the moment.
"Most top teams would bite their arm off for him. Musiala was getting involved in most of Germany's attacks before they were knocked out. He looks like he would really suit the Premier League.
"I wish he was still English, but he's probably the last person we need because of the talent we have in his position already. Musiala would get into the England team, he would certainly go toe-to-toe with all the other midfielders in the team. I’d definitely say he’s good enough to start for England."
