Chelsea Join the Race for Paul Pogba
1 of 2
Are Chelsea planning on strengthening their midfield with Paul Pogba?
According to The Mirror, yes they are.
This is a move that won't happen until the summer, but reports suggest Chelsea will go head-to-head with Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid for the French international.
It seems this is going to be the big transfer story of the summer, with Juventus asking for around £75 million for a player they picked up on a free transfer from Manchester United in 2012.
It'll be an incredible return for the club, with Pogba developing into one of Europe's most coveted talents.

Chelsea's Douglas Costa Bid Increased
2 of 2
Chelsea have reportedly increased their offer for Shakhtar Donetsk's Brazilian midfielder Douglas Costa.
According to Costa himself (per the Daily Mail) Chelsea had a bid of £16 million rejected on Thursday and now they have returned with an £18.7 million offer.
It all comes as Chelsea also chase Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina, with either Costa or Cuadrado arriving to bolster Jose Mourinho's squad should Mohamed Salah depart.
With Fiorentina holding out for £27 million, it seems a move for Costa has been strengthened, although with the future of Andre Schurrle also hanging in the balance, both players could be signed.
Costa has described a potential move to Chelsea as a "dream."
