Unconfirmed reports suggest that discussions have begun between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest over the transfer of Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos. The midfielder has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. So far this season, Chelsea are steady at both ends (1.81 goals scored per game, 1.15 goals conceded per game). The role for Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Nottingham Forest are said to be exploring David Moller Wolfe, Arne Engels and Lewis Dunk with Chelsea likewise connected to Lucas Bergvall, Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues and Bruno Guimaraes.
