Luke Shaw (Southampton)
Both the west London club and Manchester United have been keeping close tabs on the new England international throughout the previous season with a view to making a possible move for the youngster when the summer transfer window reopens.
And while it was previously thought that it was the Blues who were leading the race for the player’s signature, with Shaw a Chelsea fan whose parents live near the club’s training ground in Cobham, it is now understood that in actual fact it is the Red Devils who are the new favourites to land the full back in a deal worth a staggering £30m.
