Fabrizio Romano has told Sheff Utd star Sander Berge what he must do to join Liverpool or Chelsea, while also playing down rumours of a January move.

Despite these issues, it doesn’t look like Berge will be stepping up to the Premier League in January. At Chelsea, meanwhile, Blues chiefs are preparing for the departures of Jorginho and N’Golo Kante.
