      Leaburn has been impressing with the Addicks where he’s netted six times in just ten appearances this season.
      And he’s got the attributes to succeed at the highest level with his crazy 6ft 6in stature at just 19-years-old.
      Not only that, but it’s in his blood too as the son of Charlton legend Carl Leaburn who made over 300 appearances for the club between 1987 and 1998.
      Chelsea are already familiar with his abilities after he rose through their youth ranks before making his move to Charlton in 2019.

      But they’re not the only clubs who have had an eye on the centre-forward either.
      Brentford have garnered a reputation for uncovering hidden gems in the transfer market and are keen.
      While Aston Villa were said to be trying to strike up a deal last season, but were given an emphatic no by the EFL club.
      While it’s reported that a German Bundesliga club submitted a bid worth over £3million this summer, only to see that rejected too.

      Charlton may be sitting on a future top level talent, but they’re not feeling pressured to offload the man that has been crucial for them so far this term.
      Leaburn still has two years remaining on his current deal at The Valley with his contract running until June 2025. More

      Jadon Sancho ‘could make shock transfer to Chelsea in January’ as Man Utd look to offload exiled star

      by

      JADON SANCHO could turn to Chelsea in a bid to end his Manchester United exile, reports say. The winger – who joined United from Borussia Dortmund for £73million in 2021 – has been frozen out of the squad.

      It followed after a public spat with manager Erik ten Hag, who dropped Sancho before United’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal on September 3.
      Sancho claimed he was being made a “scapegoat” by his manager after his performances in training were criticised in a post-match interview by the Dutchman.
      Crisis talks took place as United chiefs tried to intervene to strike a peace deal but Sancho refused to apologise to Ten Hag for his explosive comments on social media.
      With the forward still refusing to make amends to his boss, it looks as though his future in the red half of Manchester is over.

      According to The Athletic, Sancho’s connections to London – where he grew up – make Chelsea a possible option.
      The Blues were long linked with the England international until they were beaten in the transfer race by United.
      But Chelsea did sign Cole Palmer in the summer while Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke all compete for places on the wing.
      Juventus are another club linked with a move for Sancho.

      Clubs from Turkey, Germany and Italy have also been tipped with an interest in him.
      However, former side Dortmund have distanced themselves with a return for their old player.
      Sancho has kept himself busy outside of training as he was pictured at a birthday party for basketball star John Wall in September.
      He was seen at the Cirque Le Soir nightclub in London alongside Mike Tyson’s son, Amir.

      He then guided them to the Europa League final last term but Roma have made an indifferent start to the current campaign.
      Mourinho, 60, is only under contract at the Stadio Olimpico until June 2024 and now it looks unlikely that he will be staying after that.
      TeamTalk claims that the Portuguese coach is “set to leave once his contract expires” and that his departure “will usher in a new era” in Rome.
      And they also claim that “several players will follow him out the door” – and one of those is 26-year-old England international striker Abraham.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      The Chelsea academy graduate was one of Mourinho’s first signings in charge and he has scored 25 times in 75 Serie A matches for the club.
      This fresh update states that he is “keen on a return to the Premier League” and that he “loves playing under Mourinho”, with sources allegedly informing the publication that he “would be happy to call time on Italy next summer and return to England” should the manager depart.
      Roma are believed to be keen on turning Romelu Lukaku’s loan spell from Chelsea into a permanent arrangement.
      And Abraham is said to be “open to being involved in a potential swap” and returning to his boyhood team.

      Chelsea have tracked his progress ever since selling him to Roma.
      However, they may face some stiff competition to sign him.
      A number of other Premier League sides are keen on the ex-Swansea City and Aston Villa loanee and are believed to have him on their summer transfer wishlists. More

      He rejected Tottenham when former manager Antonio Conte made an approach over a year ago.
      Now Chelsea and City have turned their eye to Bastoni too, report Calciomercato.
      But Inter will hold out for a hefty transfer fee with the Italy defender priced at £60million.
      The Serie A giants are not under pressure to sell as Bastoni penned a five-year deal in the summer.

      Manchester United have been linked to Bastoni in the past.
      While Pep Guardiola could decide to focus transfer funds elsewhere after signing Josko Gvardiol in the summer.

      Chelse have spent over £1billion since Todd Boehly took over.
      But the Blues are still exploring ways to improve their squad after a shaky start to the season.

      Brentford set shockingly low Ivan Toney asking price with Chelsea and Arsenal set for striker transfer tussle

      by

      BRENTFORD have set a shockingly low asking price for Ivan Toney despite a high level of interest in the striker, a report claims.The suspended star is wanted by a number of Premier League sides including Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.

      Toney, 27, was banned from football for eight months after being found guilty of 232 betting offences in May.
      He is not due to return to the pitch until the middle of January, but the Sun revealed he has been training with Brentford after striking a secret deal with the FA.
      But Toney’s inactivity has not stopped top Premier League teams from trying to snatch him from the Bees mid-season.
      It seems he will, at least, stay in the capital with title-chasing Gunners and Spurs as well as Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues all keen.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      However, even with the huge amount of interest, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reported on the Debrief Podcast that the deal can be sealed for just £65million.
      That’s despite a fee of around £80m being suggested before Toney’s betting issues came to light.

      Toney – whose contract expires in 2025 – has been the Bees’ key man since their promotion to the Premier League, scoring 32 goals over the past two seasons, including 20 last campaign.
      But boss Thomas Frank admitted they could cash in in January.

      Speaking last month, he admitted: “We are a selling club, if the right price is there, if it’s the right time for the player to go.
      “If they have developed well with us, been on the journey and now they’re proven good enough to go to the top clubs, then  it’s the right thing.”
      Toney’s end destination is unclear as Mikel Arteta is desperate to add a traditional No9 to his squad in order to fight for the league title.
      But the Spaniard is reluctant to spend big bucks after his splurge this summer on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and David Raya.
      Chelsea are not just keen on Toney, but Napoli’s Victor Osimhen too as they bid to recover from their poor start to the season.
      Tottenham have been the surprise package of the season so far, sitting unbeaten and top of the Premier League after nine games.
      However, they remain on the lookout for a goalscorer to replace Harry Kane, who left for Bayern Munich in the summer. More

      But he was replaced by Nicolas Jackson 20 minutes later and Pochettino insisted there is still room for improvement for Mudryk.
      The boss said: “I think he played well but he also needs to improve. For me, he is still not at his best.
      “I think we needed to make a change to add a little bit more pressure with Jackson in front.
      “In that situation, we created a few chances and the game was closer to 3-0 than 2-1.”

      Both Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo only came back from international duty three days before Arsenal’s trip.
      And Pochettino joked how he could not afford to rest the duo amid fear of owner Todd Boehly’s wrath.
      Poch said: “It’s crazy for players to come back from South America on Wednesday and play on Saturday.
      “But if I say ‘OK, I’m going to give them a rest’ you [the media] will kill me, for sure if they don’t play – and the owner also.

      Paez scored an absolute stunner over the weekend against Guayaquil City, with his left-footed curler heading into the top corner.
