Manager Jose Mourinho is intent on ensuring his side’s domination of the top flight continues and a report in the Daily Star claims that he is already looking to the international pair in a bid to improve his squad.
England ace Clyne is still stalling on signing a new deal with the south coast side, amid reports that Manchester United are interested in his services, but Mourinho is eager to swoop in with a £25 million move of his own.
Claims from France suggest that Cavani has handed in a transfer request with the Parisian giants, and will now likely seal his passage to England, though he won’t cost any less than £55 million.
