Chelsea agree deal for Senegal defender after failing to land Everton's John Stones

CHELSEA are set to bring in defender Papy Djilobodji in a £2.75m deal from Nantes today.

Jose Mourinho has been desperate for a new centre half after his side conceded nine goals in their first four Premier League matches.
The West Londoners have agreed the move with the French club and Djilobodji, 26, is due for talks and a medical today.
The arrival of the 6ft 4in Senegal defender comes after Chelsea missed out on Everton's John Stones.
Meanwhile young forward Jeremie Boga, 18, has joined Rennes and Brazilian Lucas Piazon, 21, has moved to Reading, both on season-long loan deals.

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future.
