Football rumours: Ructions at Chelsea and transfer stirrings at Liverpool and Arsenal

The Daily Mirror reports that ANTONIO CONTE's future at Chelsea is in doubt as he has become frustrated with Chelsea's failure in the transfer market over the summer. ROMELU LUKAKU appears to be on the verge of a move to Manchester United and the Blues have also failed on moves for ALEXIS SANCHEZ and VIRGIL VAN DIJK. The Italian is said to be "fuming" about the failure to bring Lukaku to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea will now turn their attention to Swansea's FERNANDO LLORENTE, according to the Evening Standard. The Blues were interested in the Spaniard in January's transfer window and Chelsea are set to renew their interest as Diego Costa's likely departure leaves them short in the striker department. However, Swansea are keen to keep hold of a player whose 15 goals last season helped them retain their Premier League status despite him being in the last year of his contract.
