AC Milan have joined the race to sign Chelsea outcast Christopher Nkunku before the summer transfer window closes.

Nkunku is open to a move away from the Blues.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to hijack Chelsea's move for Xavi Simons after missing out on signing Eberechi Eze, who joined their arch-rivals Arsenal.

However, his enforced absence could prove crucial in allowing Chelsea to register all of their big-money summer recruits for Europe's elite competition.
