THE GUARDIANChelsea are likely to target a high-profile striker in January, with Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres all on their shortlist, but they will probably have to sell players first because of FFP concerns. The likely proposal will be 35 senior players and a further 12 in a "transition" group. Everton duo Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are under serious consideration by England boss Gareth Southgate ahead of Euro 2024. Graham Potter is on a "highly ambitious" shortlist to take over as Stoke City manager according to reports in the Potteries media. The Greek star's condition is improving and still hopes to play in the United Cup in early January.
