Blues track Polish keeper

West Londoners eye move for promising shot-stopper
The 25-year-old shot-stopper currently plies his trade in the Norwegian second-tier with Sogndal, and has caught the eye of the Blues.

Leciejewski joined his current club back in 2008, and chairman Egil Mundal admits he will move to a big side sooner rather than later.

"What I can say is that Piotr has got an enormous potential," he told Bergens Tidende.

"We know it's a question of time before he will play on a bigger stage."

Chelsea currently have three goalkeepers in their first-team squad, with No.1 Petr Cech backed up by Hilario and Ross Turnbull, while Rhys Taylor is on loan at Crewe.

Swans reveal Sinclair approach

No further contact from Blackpool regarding Rangel

Sinclair: Wanted by Swans


Swansea have made an approach for Chelsea winger Scott Sinclair, while chairman Huw Jenkins has also confirmed Blackpool have not come back with an increased bid for right-back Angel Rangel.

Sinclair worked with Swans boss Brendan Rodgers during his time at Stamford Bridge and it is hoped that could sway the 21-year-old when he returns from Chelsea's short pre-season trip to Germany.

The youngster has failed to establish himself with the reigning Premier League champions and has instead enjoyed several loan spells, most recently at Wigan last season, but the Swans are keen to lure him on a permanent deal.

"We have spoken to Chelsea about Scott," Jenkins confirmed in the South Wales Evening Post.

"Brendan obviously knows him pretty well from his time at Chelsea and we hope that could play a part in Scott's decision.

"The next step is to try to make contact with the player. If something was to happen, though, we're not sure whether it would take a few days or a few weeks."

Regarding Rangel, who was the subject of a rejected bid from Blackpool last Friday, Jenkins added: "I've not spoken to anyone at Blackpool since we turned down their offer.

"I'm not sure if they will phone us again regarding Angel, but he is a player we are not looking to sell."

Chelsea are rumoured to be interested in making a move for Southampton’s highly rated England Under 21 international Adam Lallana. Carlo Ancelotti has been looking to bring in new British talent to help fulfill the new ‘homegrown’ ruling quota for the new season and has been linked with a move for the pint sized attacking midfielder.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has also been linked with a move for the St Albans born playmaker and the League One side face a tough fight to keep hold of the extremely talented youngster.

For the past two seasons Lallana has been a fixture in the Saints set up and had an excellent run of form last term where he netted 20 goals from the midfield and has attracted interest from a host of Premier League sides.

Valued at around £8m he would hardly dent the Stamford Bridge budget and whilst Lallana wouldn’t be Premier League ready from the outset but has a great deal of potential and could be turned into a very attractive prospect if given the chance.
