Metro is flavour of the month for Chelsea fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern after they claimed that the Blues were ready to finally close in on Raphael Varane.
Jose Mourinho has made no secret of the fact he loves Varane and was actually the manager to hand the Frenchman his big break at Real Madrid – and while Carlo Ancelotti’s opinion of Varane does not seem to be so high, one thing is obvious – the defender will be one of the best players in the world in only a short space of time.
Varane is one of our favourite players here in the Tavern and we would love to see him in the Premier League – although as our punters note, we think that any more quality in the Chelsea side and we may as well hand them the title next season as well!
