Sunday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:

Chelsea are reportedly on the verge of signing Ben Chilwell after making a breakthrough in talks with Leicester City.

The Blues, who have already brought in Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech ahead of next season, have made signing Chilwell their top defensive priority.

Following weeks of talks with tough negotiators Leicester, The Times claims that a price has finally been agreed between the clubs.

The report indicates that Chelsea may have to hand over a record sum for a left-back to get the deal over the line.

England international Chilwell has spent four seasons in Leicester's first team, making 120 appearances since the start of 2016-17.

Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old defender.

Manchester United have reportedly been informed that they will have to come up with an offer of €3m (£2.7m) in order to sign Sochaux defender Willy Kambwala this summer.

The Frenchman's performances at youth level are believed to have caught the attention of United, who are said to have recently submitted an offer of less than €1m (£900,000).

However, according to L'Equipe, Sochaux have told Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side that a bid of €3m (£2.7m) will be required before they can open contract talks with the 15-year-old.

The report claims that the 20-time English champions are yet to signal whether they would be prepared to meet Sochaux's asking price for the France Under-16 international.

The Red Devils are also allegedly closing in on a deal for Partizan teenager Filip Stevanovic, who could remain on loan at his current club for the 2020-21 campaign.

The 20-time English champions will face Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals on Sunday night.
