TOP STORY: Chelsea want to swap Mendy for Inter's Onana
New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has made signing a goalkeeper one of his top priorities, and Foot Mercato reports that the Blues will step up their interest in Internazionale's Andre Onana.
Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga have failed to make the position their own, with both enjoying a period as first-choice this season. But neither has convinced Pochettino they are consistent enough to be his long-term keeper.
Onana, who joined Inter on a free transfer from Ajax last summer when his contract expired, has helped the Serie A club to win the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup, and will line up against Manchester City in the Champions League final on Saturday.
The report says that Chelsea are prepared to offer Mendy, plus some cash, in order to sign 27-year-old Cameroon international Onana.
Manchester United have also been linked with Onana, but the Red Devils now appear to be in pole position to sign Diogo Costa from FC Porto.

Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed their interest in the 26-year-old England international, but uncertainty over the club's managerial and recruitment has seen the Magpies become better placed to agree a deal with the Foxes' star. Eddie Howe and his team are close to a breakthrough in negotiations with Maddison.
- Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs interested in PSV Eindhoven midfielder Xavi Simons, according to Mundo Deportivo. Simons, 20, who left PSG to join the Dutch side in 2022, appears happy playing in the Eredivisie and is contracted until 2027.
