Chelsea to make £50m bid for Tottenham star Danny Rose… just hours after they play them at Wembley

CHELSEA are set to bid for Danny Rose after Sunday’s Wembley clash with Tottenham.

As SunSport revealed last week, the Blues have made England man Rose their leading left-back target but would have to cough up £50million to interest Spurs.

Rose criticised his club’s transfer and wage policies in a bombshell SunSport interview last week but the

North London club are yet to give any indication they are keen to sell.

Rose, 27, who is still out until after the international break next month following knee surgery, is also a long-term target for Manchester United.

Eden Hazard will hand beleaguered Blues boss Antonio Conte a massive boost tomorrow by playing in his first match since breaking his ankle in June.

A specially-arranged game is scheduled to take place at Chelsea’s training ground and if Hazard comes through unscathed, there is a slight chance he may play some part in Sunday’s derby.

Rebel striker Diego Costa will not even be in the country, having gone AWOL back to Brazil.

Despite orders to return to England, a source close to the player says Costa is ‘not in the right state of mind’ to come back any time soon.
