Blues ready to sign Griezmann and Pogba

At first glance, given that they have been eliminated from all of the cup competitions they have participated in, you could be forgiven for thinking that Chelsea have little to play for this campaign.
With just days to go before their return to domestic action here's a round-up of all the latest news doing the rounds.
Chelsea are currently the most active side in the chase for coveted Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba. There has been much speculation about the Frenchman's future, with some reports suggesting that Pogba could be open to a move to the Premier League. The Blues have previously had a €95m bid rejected and they are said to be the only club who have even come close to Juventus' evaluation. He wants to play in the Champions League next season though which could prove a stumbling point. (L'Equipe)
Chelsea are ready to sign Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann. The no.7 star has scored 17 goals in La Liga this season while he has also created 47 chances. The Blues could certainly do with another forward option with Griezmann capable of operating effectively either up front or out wide. (Don Balon)

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. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
