Premier League transfer rumours: Chelsea reject Kante offer, Aston Villa handed Martinez boost

Here are your latest transfer rumours from around the Premier League ahead of the new season’s kick-off this weekend.

Chelsea reject Kante offer

Chelsea have rejected an offer from Inter Milan for midfielder N’Golo Kante, according to the Guardian .

The Frenchman has endured an injury-hit season at Stamford Bridge with some reports suggesting that the Blues could be ready to cash in on the player.

However, the paper claims that Chelsea have batted away Inter Milan’s attempt, rejecting a deal that included Marcelo Brozovic.

It is also reported that the Blues have told the Serie A team that they are not interested in any deal that may involve Christian Eriksen.

Chelsea are said to not be in a rush to sell Kante this season, with only a slight possibility that they will accept an offer at the right price.

Martinez ‘agrees personal terms’ with Villa

Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martine has agreed personal terms with Aston Villa, according to reports.

The Midlands side have made a number of offers for the goalkeeper, and are expected to improve on their latest £15 million attempt.

According to the Independent , should an agreement be reached between the clubs, then personal terms won’t be an issue, with the player already agreeing a four-year contract worth in the region of £60,000 a week.

West Brom in Ivanovic talks

West Brom could be about to add some experience to their backline in the form of former Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

As reported by the Telegraph , the Serbia international is in talks with the Baggies over a possible return to the Premier League.

The 36-year-old is available on a free transfer after leaving Zenit St Petersburg at the end of his contract and reportedly could complete a move to the Hawthorns before West Brom’s season opener against Leicester on Sunday.

Wales star to leave Liverpool on loan

Wales and Liverpool forward Ben Woodburn is set to move to Dutch club Sparta Rotterdam on a season-long loan, according to the Evening Standard .

The forward has spent loan spells at Sheffield United and Oxford over the last two seasons but has had his progress disrupted by injuries.

Woodburn made a name for himself in Wales after scoring a late winner over Austria in his international debut.
