​Souness tips Chelsea to sign Man Utd keeper De Gea

Former Liverpool manager Graeme Souness believes that Chelsea are likely bidders for David De Gea.

The Manchester United star has committed a series of errors since the middle of last season, calling into question his future at United.

Given they have youngster Dean Henderson to come back from a loan spell at Sheffield United, De Gea may be on the market.

And Souness thinks that Chelsea could bid for him in the summer, given their situation with Kepa Arrizabalaga.

"I'm a big fan of [Manchester United loanee] Dean Henderson who is impressing at Sheffield United," Souness told Sky Sports.

"I remember he made a mistake against Liverpool earlier in the season and his manager wasn't kind to him but he appears to have learnt from that. He appears to have a big personality.

"De Gea I would imagine would be one of the best-paid players at United. Could you have him sitting on the bench on whatever he's earning and not causing problems?

"Would there be takers for him? You look at the situation at Chelsea and they might make a nibble for him.

"It's a big decision for Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] to make and that's what he's paid for. It's a big, big call."
