Chelsea to offload £50 million trio
Chelsea boss Avram Grant could be without the trio for next season as Barcelona chase Drogba, Juventus eye Lampard and several sides including Newcastle and Liverpool track Bridge.
Drogba, 29, has been linked with a move to Spanish giants Barca for some time now and it is believed that the player would be interested in moving to the Camp Nou but Grant won't let him go for anything less than £20 million.
Juventus have been long term admirers of Lampard as the player has stalled over a new deal at Stamford Bridge. Lampard, 29, has had an average season at best by his own high standards losing his place in the England team to Gareth Barry being one of the big negatives about the season.
Wayne Bridge has attracted interest from several teams in recent months as he has found himself in and out of the Chelsea starting eleven, with Ashley Cole being preferred on several occasions. It has been speculated that Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez was interested in bringing the player to Anfield but Kevin Keegan may yet take him to St James' Park.
Out of all the three rumours the most likely in my mind is Drogba going to Barca. Drogba hasn't been the same since Mourinho left in September and I feel he is getting fed up with life under Grant and a move to Barca is very likely in the summer.
Liverpool and Spurs challenge City for £8 million Italian Keeper
The Italian keeper was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer with Sven Goran Eriksson said to be very keen on the 25-year old. It is believed the three sides involved will make bids of around £8 million for Amelia.
Tottenham are clearly on the look out for a new keeper, what with Paul Robinson very low on confidence and Reds boss Rafa Benitez is also said to be keen to bring in a new keeper at Anfield.
Amelia has 6 caps for Italy and has made over 150 appearances for Livorno is his seven years with the club. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Amelia join the Premier League in the summer and I feel Spurs may edge out City and Liverpool for the player's services.
United eye £40 million Arsenal targets
The pair have been linked with moves to Premier League rivals Arsenal in recent weeks but it is now thought that Sir Alex Ferguson could bid as much as £40 million for the two strikers.
Benzema, 20, and Ben Arfa, 20, have both been capped for France and are both currently playing at French giants Lyon were they have been making a big name for themselves.
I have seen and heard many good things about Ben Arfra and Benzema but I am not convinced that Ferguson will splash out £40 million on them. The are both very young and clearly have a lot of talent and it will be interesting to see where they end up but I predict not at Old Trafford.
Chelsea chase £15 million Dutch ace
The player has long been linked with a move to the Premier League with Chelsea always said to be interested in the Dutch international.
It is thought that the form Ajax captain will leave the German club in the summer for either Chelsea or Juventus and the Blues will launch a £15 million bid for the player when the window opens in July.
I really hope Van Der Vaart come to England because he is a terrific talent. He is an attacking midfielder that scores plenty of goals and I feel he would be a terrific addition to Avram Grant's Chelsea squad.
