William Gallas has criticised Chelsea’s decision to sanction a move for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho. The Blues have begun negotiations with their Premier League rivals over a proposed swap deal that would see Christopher Nkunku move in the opposite direction.

Chelsea have made a 'formal' offer for Alejandro Garnacho, with Manchester United now considering a big-money proposal to sell their wonderkid this month.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has said the club "are always" looking for opportunities to sign new players with seven days until the January transfer window closes.

Manchester United are monitoring Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku as the Blues weigh up a January move for Alejandro Garnacho. Nkunku has scored 13 goals in 13 starting appearances this season but has seen his first-team chances largely limited to the Europa Conference League and cup competitions.
