Bournemouth and Fulham have lodged an enquiry for a Chelsea star ‘in the last few hours’ as they explore a move. The Cherries are in superb form and now sit a lofty seventh in the Premier League, with European football next term now a real possibility.
Chelsea have high hopes for Filip Jorgensen, who has been their second choice for most of this season, and for Mike Penders, the Genk goalkeeper who will join them in the summer, so it’s unlikely they will sign another goalkeeper in this transfer window.
Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they take on Fulham on Sunday evening, with the hosts looking to do the double over the Red Devils

The recent 4-1 win at Newcastle and 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest has Cherries fans dreaming of Champions League qualification, with their free-scoring forwards earning much praise. But their defence has also been impressive, with centre-back Huijsen in particular catching the eye following his £12.7million move from Juventus last summer.
The game's only goal — Fulham’s head-drop moment — was just the sort of good fortune United were going to need. They had been woeful, and Fulham had made them look such. Lisandro Martinez ’s speculative strike from range took a wicked nick off Sasa Lukic’s foot and looped cruelly over Bernd Leno and in.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana hopes Manchester United’s 1-0 win at Fulham proves a “turning point” in their season. Lisandro Martinez’s 78th-minute strike earned Ruben Amorim’s side victory at Craven Cottage on Sunday, lifting them up to 12th in the Premier League table.

While it was an afternoon which delivered plenty of negatives for Forest, the creativity of Anthony Elanga should have seen him have some form of goal involvement. The winger created a season-high five chances for teammates, extending his run of at least one chance to five games.
Chelsea have reportedly joined Arsenal and Manchester United in the race to sign AFC Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen – after bombshell news that a release clause will activate in his contract this summer. Huijsen has been one of the Cherries’ best players this season, establishing himself as one of the top young defenders in all of Europe.
