Chelsea target set to sign new contract with £40m release clause inserted!!!
Arsenal and Chelsea target offered new contract
Paco Alcacer set to extend stay at Valencia
Valencia are set to offer striker, Paco Alcacer, a new contract in order to fend off interest from Premier League duo, Arsenal and Chelsea.
According to reports in Portugal, the London duo want to make a £14.5million offer for the Spaniard in January as they both look to add fire-power to their attack, despite Chelsea signing three strikers in the Summer.
As for Arsenal, they are still in the market for a new striker despite landing Danny Welbeck from Manchester United on transfer deadline day, and Alcacer was one of the names on Arsene Wenger's wishlist after impressing whilst scouts were watching.
However, according to new reports, Valencia are set to offer the 21-year-old a new deal in order to fend off interest from the English clubs.
The La Liga outfit want to offer the striker a five-year deal and also insert a release clause worth around £40m so that any club who wants him would have to spend big.
Alcacer netted 16 times last season for Valencia.

Real Madrid to bid for Chelsea star?!?!
Real Madrid line up Hazard as Ronaldo replacement
Madrid could try to sign the Belgian next summer, with Ronaldo potentially on the way out of the Bernabeu
In a sensational move, Eden Hazard is being lined up as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, according to reports today. The future of the Portuguese international has recently been up in the air, with the player thought to have fallen out with club executives.
It means that the ex-Man United man could be set to quit the Bernabeu at the end of the season and it has lead to Real reportedly drawing up a list of replacements, with Eden Hazard top of that list. Any move is currently unlikely but if Ronaldo does indeed end up forcing a move away next year, then Madrid will move to sign the Belgian.
If these two deals are done, they will most certainly be mega-money moves. The Blues themselves would likely demand at least £60m for Hazard, with Jose Mourinho determined not to lose any key players. As for Ronaldo, a move would be worth even more and could break the current world-record transfer fee if he was to leave.
It was former team-mate Angel Di Maria who cast the winger's future into doubt, as he said this about the Poruguese man: "I don't know how much longer Ronaldo can put up with it at Madrid.
"I get the impression that he is not very happy."
Chelsea would more than happily sign Ronaldo and could potentially offer Hazard in some kind of swap deal, but if Ronaldo was to return to the Prem, he would much prefer a move to old club Man United. The player himself said this last week about the Red Devils: "I love Manchester. Everyone knows that. Manchester is in my heart. I left many good friends there.
"The supporters are amazing and I wish I can come back one day."
Only time will tell if Ronaldo does make a move away from Spain and whether Hazard makes the move to the Bernabeu or not.
Chelsea star admits he could have joined Liverpool last Summer for £21m!!!
Diego Costa admits he could have joined Liverpool
Chelsea striker has had an instant impact in England
Chelsea star Diego Costa has revealed how he came close to joining Liverpool last Summer.
The Spaniard, who joined The Blues this year after an impressive season in La Liga, has admitted in a recent interview that he came close to signing for Liverpool last year after Brendan Rodgers made an offer for him.
Rodgers, who had spent a period of time scouting the Spaniard, was left impressed with the striker's performances and lodged a formal £21million bid for the 25-year-old, but the striker wasn't keen on making the move after finally breaking into the Madrid's first-team.
The year prior to Rodgers' interest, Costa scored 10 goals in La Liga and he has admitted that interest from Liverpool came in last Summer.
He said: "I was close to leaving, Liverpool are a great team.
"But after fighting so hard and overcoming difficulties to get my place at Atletico, how could I leave?
"I thought it was very important to keep growing at the Colchoneros [Atletico Madrid], and play here for many years."
Costa has already scored four goals for Chelsea in just three Premier League appearances.
Loic Remy sends warning to Chelsea team-mates!!
Loic Remy warns Diego Costa about starting position
French signing says he didn't join Chelsea to "sit on the bench"
Loic Remy has warned Diego Costa that he didn't join Chelsea just to be on the substitute bench, reports the London Evening Standard.
Remy recently penned a four year deal at Stamford Bridge, having signed in a £10 million deal from newly promoted side Queens Park Rangers, following a season on loan away from Loftus Road at Newcastle United, where he scored 14 goals for the Magpies last season.
The striker is yet to start for Chelsea this season, with Diego Costa in fine form for Chelsea since his £32 million summer move from Atletico Madrid, with the Spanish international scoring four goals in his first three Premier League games.
However the first shots seemed to have been fired from Remy, who stated to Costa that he does not want to just sit on the bench at the West London club.
“They are one of the best clubs in the world,” Remy is quoted in the Mirror.
“I know I won’t start out as first-choice striker at Chelsea, but nothing is set in stone. I have my aims.
“I didn’t sign for them in order to sit on the bench. I will try to improve as much as I can alongside their great players, and the rest will happen naturally.”
He added: “When the chance comes up to join a club like Chelsea you can’t say no.
“The deal was done late in the evening. I was prepared to stay at QPR, but I didn’t hesitate for a second when Chelsea came along.”
