Chelsea have "serious and strong interest" in signing Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, according to Sky sources.

The Blues will try to sign a striker this summer to replace Diego Costa, who has been told he is not in Antonio Conte's plans for next season.

After missing out on Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea have turned their attention to forwards such as Alvaro Morata (Real Madrid), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund), Andrea Belotti (Torino) and Aguero.

Sky Sports News HQ understands it will be very difficult for Chelsea to sign Aguero with Manchester City reluctant to let him leave.

Chelsea have turned to other targets after missing out on Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United
When asked if Aguero was staying in May, City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: "Absolutely. There's never been a doubt about that. I've read a lot of the speculation on this and it's ridiculous.

"Sergio Aguero is one of the best players in the world. We are a team that aspires to win every competition we compete in.

"Having Sergio Aguero as part of the squad is an absolute must. It has never been in doubt."

After Aguero, who was City's top scorer with 20 Premier League goals last season, netted twice in City's final game of the season - a 5-0 victory at Watford - manager Pep Guardiola also insisted he would not be sold.

"Every press conference [the question is asked]," said Guardiola. "Okay, guys. He will be [at City] next season. Happy? Good. Perfect."

Aguero was signed from Atletico Madrid for £38m in 2011 and has three years left on his current City deal.

He has scored 169 times for City in six years, winning two Premier League titles in 2012 and 2014.

Some Lecturers of the Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma have been arrested by the Edo State Police Command for allegedly practising Cultism.

The police commissioner said, “The professor was arrested. He was granted bail. The case is under investigation.” Gwandu’s statement came less than a week after the command refuted reports that its operatives allegedly brutalised the Dean of the Faculty of Law of the university, Prof. Sunday Edeko. The commissioner expressed displeasure over the high rate of cultism around the institution located in Esan West Local Government Area, which he said had claimed many lives. He said there had been distress calls from me...

Naira values at 390/dollar

It was a huge rise for the Naira as there as it recorded a major gain on Wednesday, closing at 390 per United States dollar at the parallel market, up from 405/dollar on Tuesday. This came barely 24 hours after the Central Bank of Nigeria announced the injection of $280m into the various segments of the forex market and the commencement of its weekly $20,000 sale to licensed Bureau De Change operators. Before closing at 405/dollar on Tuesday, a day after the Easter holidays, the local unit had closed flat at 410/dollar for seven consecutive days. As a result, currency analysts had expressed concerns over the exchange rate resistance to the CBN’s continued dollar supply into the forex market aimed at bridging the gap between parallel and official exchange rates. Last week, some currency analysts predicted the naira would appreciate this week if the central bank sustained its interventions in the market. Some experts, however, expressed doubt that the CBN possessed the s...

How Lukaku Outclass Aguero In Asia Tournament.

Lukaku showed his pace and power as he put United ahead after rounding City’s debutant goalkeeper Ederson – who experienced a mixed evening – in the 37th minute and Pep Guardiola’s men crumbled again before half-time. Playing with Lukaku for the first time, Marcus Rashford was not overshadowed as he produced a clinical finish to double the lead two minutes later. Aside from Eric Bailly, Jose Mourinho named arguably his strongest XI, with David de Gea, Antonio Valencia, Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Jesse Lingard, Rashford and Lukaku in the line-up. City fans got a glimpse of Ederson and Walker for the first time, while Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Vincent Kompany, Raheem Sterling and Yaya Toure also started, with star recruit Bernardo Silva still away on holiday following the Confederations Cup. With the worker bee – a symbol of Manchester’s industrial heritage – on United and City’s jerseys in respect to those ...
