There are reports Chelsea could turn to Villarreal’s Samu Chukwueze in their hunt for a new winger this summer.

But with BVB refusing to drop their asking price for Jadon Sancho, the West Londoners appear to have privately conceded defeat in the race to sign the much-coveted 20-year-old.

So with Manchester United now the overwhelming favourites to acquire Sancho, the Blues are having to consider other options.

The Blues had been hoping to prise Sancho away from Borussia Dortmund in the coming months.

And according to Goal, Villarreal livewire Chukwueze is one being carefully considered.

The 21-year-old has become a regular in LaLiga after coming through the Yellow Submarine’s academy.

Chukwueze regularly troubles defences with his outstanding dribbling ability, although his final ball could do with some refining – having provided four assists in addition to four goals this season.

The 20-year-old, however, escaped unhurt and was released from hospital following a check over after the dramatic smash.

It is understood the Polish youngster was driving the rented yellow Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder near his home in Wyszogrod, Warsaw at around midnight on Wednesday night.

But when he attempted an overtake, he is thought to have collided head-on into an oncoming car.

Pictures circulated on social media showed the luxurious Lambo on the grass verge beside the road with its airbags activated.

Later images revealed the supercar’s extensive damage and then it being towed away on the back of a pick-up truck.

Gabriel Agbonlahor will never get over Roberto Di Matteo’s treatment of teammate Stiliyan Petrov.

Di Matteo helped Chelsea win the Champions League in 2012, beating the then dreaded Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena.

The Chelsea hero started his coaching career at MK Dons and arrived at Aston Villa after a season at Schalke.

Returning from leukaemia, Petrov was hoping to play for the Villains in 2016-17, but the Italian coach did not offer the Bulgarian a chance to return after a three-year battle against the disease.

“I’ll hate him for the rest of my life for that,” Agbonlahor told threesixtytv as cited by Football Italia.

“Any other manager with a single bit of heart would have given him a pay-as-you-play.

The former England international claimed Petrov had worked hard during pre-season and was putting in enough work to deserve another chance.

“There’s a month, or there’s six months, let’s see how you are. To be so ruthless and heartless to not even give him a chance, you know what I mean?

“Imagine you come back from that horrific disease, you’ve got yourself fit, you’ve lost all this weight that you’ve put on through your treatment.

“You’ve come back, you’ve done every run that the 19-year-olds have done in pre-season and you can’t give me anything? Do you know what I mean?”

Chelsea have hatched a plan to jump to the front of the queue for Timo Werner this summer, according to Bild.

The 24-year-old has scored 30 goals and provided 12 assists in 39 appearances this season, compelling every big European club to take notice.

According to the Mirror, Liverpool, who have been the frontrunners for the striker’s signature, are not willing to meet his £49million release clause and will only make a move if a lower fee closer to £30m can be negotiated.

The Premier League champions-elect are facing a gargantuan £100m shortfall in income due to the pandemic. This goes in line with an earlier report, with the Reds seemingly prepared to lose out on the player even to a rival.

Manchester United are also interested, but Chelsea, according to the Evening Standard, hope to use Antonio Rudiger to help persuade Werner to make the move to Stamford Bridge.

Frank Lampard wants to build his attack around Werner, and his close friendship with fellow Germany international Rudiger could help Chelsea win the race.
