According to The Metro, Chelsea pair Cesc Fabregas and Pedro could both follow Pep Guardiola to Manchester City next summer; whilst The Daily Star report that Arsenal have sealed a £4.4million deal for Dynamo Moscow forward Aleksandr Kokorin.
Pedro and Fabregas were both regular starters under Guardiola at Barcelona but have struggled for form at Chelsea this season, with the latter accused of playing a significant role in Jose Mourinho’s sacking last Thursday.
Citing Spanish publication Don Balon, The Metro claim the Spain internationals could follow their former gaffer to the Etihad next summer if he replaces Manuel Pellegrini as widely suspected. The 44-year-old announced his plans to step down as Bayern Munich boss last weekend.

Meanwhile, The Daily Star – citing France Football – claim Arsenal have agreed a £4.4million deal with Dynamo Moscow for Russian international Aleksandr Kokorin, who they attempted to bring to the Emirates on a loan deal during the summer.
But the Gunners will only follow through on the transfer if Danny Welbeck suffers a further injury setback before the close of the January transfer window.
The England international is expected to be out until February after undergoing surgery in September, but his return date has already been moved back on a number of occasions this season. Arsene Wenger wants to ensure he has enough cover for the second half of the north London outfit’s increasingly convincing Premier League title bid.
