Real Madrid transfer news: Chelsea and Tottenham handed boost as Real look at Ederson Moraes according to : London Evening Standard

Chelsea and Tottenham have been handed a major boost in their battles to keep Thibaut Courtois and Hugo Lloris as Real Madrid have started to look at Benfica's Ederson Moraes to be their new No1. And Courtois won't come cheap, as Chelsea have valued him at £73million ever since Real first made an enquiry for him in 2015. Real know it will be difficult to prise Lloris and De Gea out of Spurs and United respectively. They have turned their attention to Ederson, who has begun to make an impact at Benfica and is the cheapest option. His girlfriend and daughter live in Madrid, too, but Courtois has been back to his best at Chelsea this term and says he is happier than ever there.




Diego Costa says he has Didier Drogba to thank for making his £32million move to Chelsea a success. Drogba watched his old team-mates, including Costa, in action on Saturday, beating London rivals Arsenal 3-1. Drogba, who won 12 major trophies and was voted the club's greatest player by Chelsea fans in 2012, was at Stamford Bridge during the Spain international's first campaign in west London. Costa is on course to finish as the club's top scorer for the third successive season following his move from Atletico Madrid. "I have always seen Drogba as the example to follow in terms of a centre-forward," said Costa.
