CHELSEA are still in the market for a No 9 this summer, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

But the Argentine wants a forward player who can do a job in any position across the front three, with Christopher Nkunku out until December at the earliest.

Meanwhile, Philippe Countinho has agreed to QUIT Aston Villa after agreeing personal terms with Qatari club Al-Duhail.

And Manchester City are interested in a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
