Bayern scupper Chelsea's Sule chase

Chelsea had plans to sign Hoffenheim defender Niklas Sule next month -- but those hopes have been dashed, according to the Sun.

Citing reports in Germany, it says the centre-back -- strongly linked with a £30 million move to Stamford Bridge in recent weeks -- will be on his way to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich instead.

Germany international Sule came close to joining Chelsea in the summer, but the Sun says Bayern have now agreed an undisclosed fee with Hoffenheim.
