Chelsea are linked with Everton and England Under 21 star Jack Rodwell. Tottenham are favourites to land the midfielder but both Chelsea and Manchester City are weighing up a bid for the midfielder.
Rodwell, 20 who can play either midfield or centre half was previously linked with a £20million move to Old Trafford, but Manchester United chief Sir Alex Ferguson has seemingly turned his attention elsewhere after Rodwell’s dip in form.
The combative midfielder had reportedly agreed a fee in principle with a move to Old Trafford, but since January, Rodwell suffered a dip in form which saw United’s hierarchy struggling to justify the £20million fee for the young Englishman.
Chelsea are believed to be contemplating whether or not to move for youngster in this transfer window or the next one reports the Daily Mail. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is determined to bring in fresh young stars this summer to help add much needed youth to an aging squad.
The 20-year old is priced at around £20-25million and would add much needed funds at The Goodison with Everton boss David Moyes planning to gate crash the top 5 next season.
