Chelsea are willing to offer £30million but Shakespear­e insisted: ‘We don’t want to sell our best players.’ Unsettled star Riyad Mahrez could play tomorrow at Arsenal — one of the clubs keen to sign him. TOTTENHAM are closing in on their first signing of the summer. Manager Mauricio Pochettino wants Southampto­n’s £2m-rated Argentinia­n goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga, 25, as back up for Hugo Lloris. INJURED striker Zlatan Ibrahimovi­c, 35, has begun talks with Manchester United over a new contract.
