Chelsea are reportedly preparing a bid for Rennes striker Kader Meite after monitoring the 17-year-old for several months.

The Blues have been scouting Meite closely over the early weeks of the season, and their scouts have been impressed by what they have seen.

The teenager is quickly becoming an important player for Rennes, and he has already contributed one goal and one assist in the early months of the new Ligue 1 season.

The report states that Chelsea are more likely to bid for Meite next summer rather than January, but their hand could be forced if other clubs make their move over the winter months.

A large bid would be needed to get the teenager out of Rennes.

Newcastle consider move for Dusan Vlahovic

Newcastle United may have signed two new strikers in the summer transfer window, but according to a new report, the Magpies feel that they need three to replace the goals scored by Alexander Isak.

Eddie Howe is said to be keen on bringing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic to St James' Park in January, and they could get the Serbian international at a cut-price deal due to the fact that his Juventus contract is set to expire next summer.

The Magpies have been asked to be ‘kept informed' on Vlahovic's future, with a contract extension in Turin unlikely due to financial reasons.

What makes the situation even more difficult for Juventus is that Vlahovic has started the new season like a train, scoring four goals and providing one assist from five appearances.

Liverpool linked with Barcelona star Ronald Araujo

Reports linking Liverpool with a move for Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo refuse to go away, and the latest report from Football Insider states that the Spanish club would ‘command a large fee' for the defender.

The same report states that while defending Premier League champions are closely monitoring Araujo's situation at Barcelona, their priority remains securing the signature of Marc Guehi.

Although the Reds don't want to pay for him in January, they believe they are still leading the race for his signature despite a plethora of clubs across Europe, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich, joining the race.

Liverpool had agreed to a deal to sign Guehi in the summer, but the plug was pulled on the transfer at the last minute at the request of Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner.
