Football transfer news and rumours: 'Chelsea to intensify efforts with £25m bid for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain'

Cheamanager Antonio Conte, who earlier this week was reassured that at least three more new players would arrive at Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes, is understood to have increased his interest in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The Arsenal midfielder has just one year left on his contract and had been linked with a move across the capital earlier this summer, but according to the Daily Mail the Premier League champions are now ready to 'intensify their efforts' with a bid of around £25 million.

Clearly not content with the prospect of upsetting some fans in one part of north London, Conte is also, according to the one red top, hoping to take Danny Rose from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Italian manager had hoped to sign Alex Sandro from Juventus, though the Turin club are digging their heels in and are reportedly demanding at least £60m for the Brazilian.

Despite having had surgery in May, Rose is expected to be fit by the end of August and Chelsea are understood to be preparing a £40m bid for the 27-year-old.

Adeleke scored 254,698 votes, giving him 353 votes more than his main rival and candidate of the All Progressives Party, Gboyega Oyetola. But 3,498 potentially consequential votes were unaccounted for. Yet there are those who insist that by simple majority, Adeleke should have been declared winner. Why is INEC wasting time? As the parties return to the seven polling units in the four local councils that will finally decide the election, it appears that it is not only PDP that wants Adeleke declared winner, anyhow. In the run-up to the electi...
