Liverpool linked with Roberts, Blues tipped to pursue Schurrle swap deal

By

The Express say Chelsea are looking to offload Andre Schurrle to Borussia Dortmund in an exchange deal involving Marco Reus.

A number of other Premier League clubs are said to be interested in Reus, 25, including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.

He is reported to have a clause in his contract enabling him to leave for £20m at the end of the season, but it is claimed that Chelsea are not only interested but want to sign him in January.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho is expected to offer Schurrle in a straight swap, the Express say.

Meanwhile, there continues to be speculation over the future of highly-rated Fulham youngster Patrick Roberts.

The Daily Mirror say Liverpool are stepping up their interest in the teenager and are looking to beat Chelsea as well as Arsenal to his signing.

Liverpool are said to have watched Roberts three times this season and be willing to loan him back to Fulham if they secure his transfer.
