According to the Metro, the Ghana international's agent Sascha Empacher recently met with Emirates chiefs.

Chelsea are also keen on Baba with Bundesliga surprise package Augsburg reportedly demanding £15m.

Fiorentina have made an "insane offer" for Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah, the Guardian report.

La Viola director Vincenzo Guerini said: “We made an insane offer to Salah.

Turkish side Trabzonspor are eyeing up a move for Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli.
