Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Premier League on Thursday, February 11.

Thursday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:


Thomas Tuchel 'wants to bring Paris Saint-Germain youngster to Chelsea'

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly keen to bring Paris Saint-Germain teenager Kays Ruiz-Atil to Stamford Bridge this summer.

The 18-year-old was handed his PSG debut by Tuchel earlier this season but has not been in the plans of Mauricio Pochettino since the change of management at the French club.

Ruiz-Atil's current deal with the French champions is due to expire at the end of June, and it is understood that talks with the club over an extension have stalled.

According to Foot Mercato, Chelsea are long-term admirers of the teenager, but the English outfit's interest has intensified since Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as head coach.

Ruiz-Atil, who has been demoted to the PSG Under-19s squad, is currently free to discuss terms with foreign clubs with the view to a move this summer.

The midfielder spent six years with Barcelona between 2009 and 2015 before moving to the nine-time Ligue 1 champions, and he has featured on seven occasions for the first team this term.



Borussia Dortmund 'planning to sell Jadon Sancho this summer'

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly prepared to part ways with Manchester United target Jadon Sancho in the summer.

The 20-year-old's proposed move to Old Trafford dominated the talk of the most recent summer window, but he remained at Dortmund after Man United failed to fork out their asking price of £109m.

However, Man United are expected to reignite their pursuit of Sancho when the 2020-21 season is over, and the forward could supposedly now be available for a lower figure of £87.6m due to the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.

According to WAZ, Sancho is almost certain to be sold by Dortmund if they fail to secure Champions League qualification, and the Bundesliga outfit are prepared to lower their demands due to their volatile financial situation.

The report adds that Sancho is one of several players who could be on their way out if Dortmund - who currently sit sixth - do not finish in the top four, and Manchester City-linked Erling Braut Haaland is another name on the potential list of outgoings.

Axel Witsel, Manuel Akanji, Raphael Guerreiro, Giovanni Reyna and former Birmingham City starlet Jude Bellingham may also be moved on alongside Sancho, who boasts three goals and nine assists from 18 Bundesliga games this season.
