Sunderland make enquiry to loan Chelsea forward
Guiu joined Chelsea from Barcelona last summer but featured for just 71 minutes in the Premier League. He did impress in the Europa Conference League, scoring six times in six appearances, before a hamstring injury decimated the latter half of his debut campaign.
Sunderland are one of several sides keen to hand the Spaniard regular senior football next season. Sky Sports are reporting that the newly-promoted Black Cats are one of three clubs to have enquired about the 19-year-old.
Chelsea want Guiu's full salary to be covered as part of any arrangement and will only accept straight loans. The teenager is viewed as a part of the club's long-term future.
Sunderland are keen to improve their firepower, with leading scorer Wilson Isidor netting just 13 times in the Championship last season.
Regis Le Bris's side have invested heavily this summer, spending more than £120m after the recent recruit of former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Popular Blackburn Rovers player reflects on Ewood Park anniversary
Makhtar Gueye is hoping to continue his progress as a Blackburn Rovers player after a year of adaptation in England. The forward arrived on July 30, 12 months ago. He was part of a flurry of activity from Rovers, with their first signing not arriving until the end of pre-season. By contrast, this season's flow has been much more succinct. Valerien Ismael has four new signings through the door with two to three more eyed in the next month. Gueye, like Yuki Ohashi, has been adjusting to English culture after arriving at the club without any grasp of the language. The physicality and intensity of the division have also been a learning curve. READ MORE: The big striker has been taking English lessons once a week, alongside team-mate Ohashi, and gave an update on his progress after marking a year at the club. "I'm happy to be here, I'm very happy," Gueye told RoversTV. "I didn't have a pre-season when I came here from Belgium. Now I've had a pre-season this year and that makes a difference physically. So I'm very good. "My English is a lot better, I understand more. I can speak when I want to. Lots of people have helped me. I had a teacher during the week for an hour, me and Yuki. "Trav has not helped me; he is always laughing at me. Seriously, he's a good guy, a very funny guy." Augustus Kargbo conducted the interview, with their on-screen camaraderie highlighting their growing friendship. On the pitch, they have been linking up in pre-season. Gueye has scored twice and laid on one for his team-mate against Qatar SC. For the season ahead, the 27-year-old wants to add to his six goals last term. "My objectives are the same, to score more goals and to do more work," he said. "We want to work for the team and help the team. Me and Yuki want to score lots of goals. We're always working hard and we want to win games."

Red Bull adviser reveals ‘primary' reason Christian Horner was sacked
Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko has revealed that Christian Horner was primarily dismissed from his role as team principal due to performance reasons. Horner was relieved of his duties as Red Bull F1 CEO and team principal three weeks ago after 20 years at the helm. It brought to an end a tumultuous 18 months for the team, with a divide forming within the management structure despite Max Verstappen claiming his fourth world championship last year. Yet with Red Bull languishing in fourth place in the constructors' standings, long-term adviser Marko insisted Horner's dismissal was down to this under-performance. "The decision was made by the management, that is, Oliver Mintzlaff,' Marko told Sky Germany. "We informed Christian Horner of it in London. 'At the same time, we officially thanked him for 20 years and eight world titles. It was the result of various factors. But primarily, performance was not quite where it should be." Horner was replaced by Laurent Mekies, formerly team principal at sister team Racing Bulls. Mekies took charge of the team for the first time at the Belgian Grand Prix last weekend and experienced his first victory with Verstappen's sprint race win. "Luckily, we were able to bring in Laurent Mekies from within the Red Bull family, his role will be significantly more focused - primarily on racing,' Marko, 82, added. "He's an excellent engineer, which is a good fit considering the complex technology in Formula 1. "We've already seen that he communicates very well with the staff. We're hopeful that we can gradually return to the top." F1 heads to Budapest for the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend, the last race before the summer break.
