Chelsea, Arsenal back in Kostas Manolas

Chelsea and Arsenal have revived their interest in Kostas Manolas amid claims that Roma could sanction his sale in the transfer window. The Greece international has caught the eye of the London giants over the past year.

Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport says the Giallorossi are closing in on a temporary deal for Inter Milan's Juan Jesus and this could allow Manolas to seek his desired move.

Th 25-year-old has previously expressed his intention to join a Premier League club, and his reluctance to pen a fresh contract could well tempt Roma to cash in on his services.

The Blues and Gunners are currently keeping tabs on the player, who still has three years left on his existing deal.

Roma value their asset in excess of £35m.
