Chelsea are on the verge of completing a £16.3 million move for Rayo Vallecano defender Pep Chavarria as the Blues continue their busy summer recruitment drive. The 28-year-old left-back is expected to arrive at Stamford Bridge to provide vital competition and cover following a high-profile departure from the defensive unit.
Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton has insisted he will not "sit and cry" after being left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup. Despite a fine individual campaign at Selhurst Park, the 22-year-old midfielder was the high-profile absentee from the 26-man travelling party announced last week.
