Antonio Conte has revealed Chelsea are in the process of adapting their approach to the transfer market after a frustrating summer. Despite splashing out more than £60 million on N’Golo Kante and Michy Batshuayi, the Blues have encountered slow progress on other targets, including AC Milan rebuffing their £35m approach for centre-back Alessio Romagnoli.

Arsenal will be gunning for their first win of the season when they face the Hornets at Vicarage road on Saturday afternoon. Wenger reckons that Ighalo and his strike partner, Troy Deeney, could wreak havoc if allowed to go unchecked in front of their supporters. “They (Deeney and Ighalo) were very efficient last year upfront as twin strikers. “One of the keys for us is to keep them quiet of course,” Wenger said in his pre-match press conference…

Striker Marcus Rashford is better off in the England Under 21 side than playing second or third fiddle to Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy for the England senior team, says his club manager Manchester United’s Jose Mourinho. The 18-year-old – one of the rare successes under Mourinho’s predecessor Louis van Gaal, scoring eight times last term – played only a peripheral role in England’s disastrous Euro 2016 campaign making two tardy substitute appearances. Mourinho, who has often been criticised for neglecting young talent and playing older players, said Rashford would develop better both at club and international level if he…

Antonio Conte will head to the beach next week as the frazzled Chelsea manager gets some well deserved rest after battling in vain to land his top transfer targets.

Chelsea have made only three signings and Conte has been unable to land the centre-back and striker he regards as essential to add quality and depth to a squad that went stale last season. With the…
Claudio Bravo must wait to make his Manchester City debut as he prepares to watch his new club’s home Premier League game with West Ham United on Sunday from the stands at the Etihad Stadium. The Chilean goalkeeper has completed the formalities over his reported £17 million move to the Premier League, but his lack of training with his new team means manager Pep Guardiola has not considered him for a starting place. That will almost certainly mean more frustration for unwanted England keeper Joe Hart, who has been told he can leave the club, with Willy Caballero poised to…
