Hi Ed just wondering if you had any updates on current or previous HG interests such as Sterling, Barkley, Berahino, Pogba etc

Thanks in advance

{Ed002's Note - (a) There is interest from clubs in Sterling because he is playing well. Chelsea are one of those clubs as I have explained. I suspect a move is unlikely. (b) I think the time has past for Chelsea but MC might still push for Barkley. (c) I think again that interest has passed - WBA are looking to offer him the best deal they can. (d) Chelsea's interest remains but it is tough to see how a deal can be reached in the short-term. (e) Talisca remains a target and Chelsea will look to some sort of deal, however complicated it might be. (e) Interest remains in Varane and won't go away. (f) Chelsea will look to a striker for the summer where they can pay for him in January and take him in the summer - options are being considered.}

Thanks mate. Could you possibly name them strikers we are looking at?

Cheers, all the best

{Ed002's Note - The club are considering various options and I am not going to get in to naming players before there is some concerted level of interest I am aware of. I can say that Paco Alcacer would be number one choice but it now looks unlikely. Seydou Doumbia was looked at again but there is, apparently, only one person within the club being particularly supportive of a move for him - so very unlikely.}

Thanks a lot Ed much appreciated. Really do value your imput.

Is doumbia's age still in question? One of those things that'll never get resolved imo

{Ed002's Note - It is not of concern in this case.}
