DRAMA BENRAHMA
Leeds may face Chelsea for signing Brentford’s star winger Said Benrahma.
The new Premier League boys, Leeds, are reportedly making plans to take on their former rivals in the Algerian international.
The Bees player, worth around 25 million pounds, has hit 17 times and provided four assists this quarter.
Benrahma’s for betting on the left and right bands would have attracted the attention of Frank Lampard’s club this season.
And the player’s versatility also piqued the interest of Leeds coach Bielsa, who had a public impact with Lampard over a spy door dispute during his tenure as Derby coach.
With the long career of Brazilian veteran Willian yet to make up his mind, Benrahma has been associated with a season at Les Bleus, according to the Daily Express.
KAI DOESN’T KNOW
Bayer Leverkusen coach Peter Bosz has damaged his silence about the long career of star player Kai Havertz.
The German game maker has been closely associated with Chelsea.
And on this subject, Bosz admitted: “Yes, I know what you have to do.
“But of course I won’t give it away, it’s he who decides.
“Maybe the call will come today, maybe next week, maybe not at all.”
HONEST ABE
Frank Lampard has ignored his lack of contact with owner Roman Abramovich, the owner strangely hasn’t touched him since he became the 4 most sensible last weekend.
Lampard, 42, said: “We haven’t been in touch and there’s nothing there.
“I think my job is to paint as best I can. After the result of the Wolves, in the four most sensible, I don’t want a phone call, a message, a popularity or anything like that. My task when we’re in fourth place is to think about how we’re going to get through the fourth year next year and close the gap.
“It will be similar regardless of the opposite result to Arsenal. I feel like the owner. I felt it from the moment I took the job. I felt it for many years as a player. I am satisfied if I can do it last Sunday was a step forward and I need to keep taking the steps.
CAL IT SALA
Manchester United is interested in a surprise move for Chelsea’s winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to reports.
The Manchester Evening News reports that boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a fan of the 19-year-old.
The foreigner from England has fought for a time in shape in recent years with the Blues, following a long-term injury.
But it will still be hard to stand out from Stamford Bridge, with Frank Lampard, a fan of the talented striker.
SAI IS NOT LIKE THAT
Leeds United will compete with Chelsea for the signing of Brentford star Said Benrahma, reportedly.
The winger has inspired Western Londoners this season, inspiring them for next week’s championship play-off final.
But whether the Bees win at Wembley or not, vultures have to revolve around their Algerian star.
And for the Express, Leeds United joined the Blues in the race for the coveted star.
DON’T BE SURE
Chelsea and Arsenal have reportedly been told they can have RB Salzburg star Dominik Szoboszlai for only 26 million pounds this summer.
The highly qualified Hungarian midfielder is about to leave the Austrians for little money, he says.
Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund needs to stay at Szoboszlai for one more season, but he knows that a 26 million pound offer will convince Austrians to do business.
And Arsenal boss Stan Kroenke has given the green light to do business.

TEAM NEWS
Willian and N’Golo Kante are available for this afternoon’s FA Cup final with Arsenal following recent injuries.
However, the unfortunate Ruben Loftus-Cheek will miss the Blues after injuring Thursday.
DISA-PIERRE
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reportedly tried to force a change to Chelsea in January, but failed due to his huge wage demands.
Arsenal captain, who is expected to play against Western Londoners in the FA Cup final later in the day, would have tried to faint but may not settle for conditions.
Aubameyang, 31, still has one year of contract left with the Gunners for 200,000 euros a week, but was looking to leave quickly, according to the Mail.
The Gabonese striker contacted Frank Lampard’s Blues.
And they say he’s looking forward to moving, which would have infuriated Gunners enthusiasts.
But Aubameyang reportedly asked for a salary that would have made him the highest-paid player in the club’s history, anything the Blues can afford.
Frank TALK
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard on his recent FA Cup reports as a player.
He told the Blues’ official website: “I enjoyed the final opposition to Everton.
“Marking the purpose of victory is a small moment that remains with you. I grew up watching the FA Cup finals and the purposes of winning, and that’s very good. I can list them all out of the ’90s.
“So scoring the winner was great, however, that individual moment can’t undo the collective victory, which were all. I did them very well. They’ve all been under pressure, whether you’re playing portsmouth or Manchester United.”
“The matches are difficult. The concept that this is a definitive adjusts its tone. All you have to do is win, then the feeling is amazing.
MASS AND POWER
Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has praised his team’s ability to recover this season.
He told the Blues website: “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs.
“It was not a smooth sailing season and we had some difficult times, however, we recovered every time.
“We have shown that in the organization we have this mindset to react after complicated actions and we also have that winning mentality.
“When we won important games, we stepped forward.”
THE TIME HAS COME

TOMORROW, CHELSEA FANS
Frank Lampard appears to be pushing Chelsea leaders for a new deal for Willian, which predicts a star forward role of the Brazilian in Saturday’s FA Cup final.
Arsenal, Wembley’s opponents, were the 31-year-olds after the Blues refused to give him the new three-year contract he wanted.
But Chelsea manager Lampard suggested to his club that he reach a deal in a few days.
And while Lamps aims to raise the trophies to his fourth position in his first season as Premier League boss, he said of Willian: “It has been this season, he has been shown the right attitude.
“Then I would expect nothing less than he has already shown, and that’s Willian for you.
Tottenham, Inter Miami and last Barcelona have been connected with William as their contract ends this summer.
Wideman and N’Golo Kante and Willian are on the final team after injuries.
But fellow midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek ruled after being injured in education on Thursday.
Bayer Leverkusen striker Kai Havertz solves the goal of Chelsea’s summer play.
And the Blues can get more funding for that, as the club’s owner, Roman Abramovich, will earn 400 million pounds by promoting his 40% stake in a gold company.
Cash can alleviate Abramovich’s net worth, which has fallen to 2.4 billion pounds this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
