Despite being only half way through a two-window transfer ban Chelsea are confident they can land Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell.

Despite a poor run of results it seems as though Tottenham will continue to back Mauricio Pochettino in the transfer market. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7560157/Tottenham-send-chief-scout-Argentina-Spurs-continue-pressure-Mauricio-Pochettino.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail</a> says that chief scout Steve Hitchin has gone to Argentina to run the rule over players in the manager's homeland. The paper says that club sources see that as a sign Pochettino will not be moved on. There was speculation that Jose Mourinho was in position to take over in North London, but the scouting mission appears to have put paid to that notion.
