      MANCHESTER UNITED have joined Arsenal and Chelsea in the race to sign Romeo Lavia, reports suggest. Lavia, 19, has enjoyed a breakout season with Southampton.

      In fact, no player in the Premier League won more free-kicks than Lavia in February.
      And now the midfielder, who only joined from Manchester City last summer, is in line for a move up the table.
      According to the Daily Mail, Man Utd are the latest club to keep tabs on Lavia.
      The Belgian is already in the sights of London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal, with the Blues previously enquiring about his services.

      However, in United’s case, he does not represent their first-choice option.
      Instead, Erik ten Hag wants to pursue a deal for Frenkie de Jong or Jude Bellingham, who both fit his desired tactical system.
      There is also a long-standing admiration for Declan Rice at Old Trafford, though Arsenal are leading the race to sign the West Ham star.
      Southampton have missed Lavia’s presence whenever he has not featured this season, winning just one of nine Premier League games he was absent.

      This has not boded well for the Saints’ survival chances, with their poor form seeing them rooted to the bottom of the table.
      They brought Lavia in for just £14million, and while City have a £40m buyback option in the deal, relegation would weaken Southmapton’s stance on a sale.
      Man City star Kevin De Bruyne described Lavia as having the potential to be a “top player” after seeing him in training.
      He said last year: “He (Lavia) is very good. He’s been training with us since the end of last year. If he continues his development, I think he’ll be a top player.” More

      Felix joined the Blues on loan in January from the LaLiga giants.
      The forward has impressed in his short time at the club, scoring in the 1-1 draw at West Ham last month.
      Felix himself recently hinted that he wants to stay at Stamford Bridge when his loan deal expires at the end of the campaign.
      And his chances of joining Chelsea have been boosted following reports that Felix’s Atletico team-mates are “sick to the teeth of him”.

      It’s claimed Felix, who signed for Atletico from Benfica in 2019 for £111million, only remains in contact with two players at the club.
      Journalist Miguel Martin Talavera told AS TV, via Football Espana: “What is clear is that Joao Felix is going one way and Atletico Madrid are going the other.”
      Talavera added: “Right now, Joao Felix is still in contact with two players at Atletico Madrid. After four years, Reinildo, who arrived just over a year ago, and Sergio Reguilon, are the ones who he is closest with. With the rest, there is nothing, no friendship.”
      Talavera continued: “The reason is, they are sick to the teeth of him. They think he only looks out for himself, for his objectives.

      “The things he did harmed the team and harmed the group.”

      Fans were then left making the same joke after realising Felix’s strike at London Stadium was the Blues’ only goal in February.
      Chelsea have just two wins in 15 Premier League games, leaving boss Graham Potter fighting to save his job. More

      However, he has struggled to make his mark at Stamford Bridge before more big-money signings arrived in January.
      That led to speculation linking him with a surprise transfer to Arsenal.
      However, talkSPORT report Sterling will reject any possible interest from Arsenal.
      Instead, the England international is determined to stay put in West London and fight for his place in the team.

      Sterling has made 25 appearances for Chelsea since leaving City following a fourth Premier League title win.
      His return of six goals and three assists across all competitions is down on what he would have wanted – and recent injury struggles have not helped – although it makes him Chelsea’s joint-top scorer.
      The 82-cap star’s place in the side was further threatened when Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke joined for a combined £123m – plus Joao Felix on loan.
      Should Sterling join Arsenal, he would be reunited with Mikel Arteta.
