CHELSEA GET NEARER TO VARANE CAPTURE AS REAL MADRID OFFER NEW DEAL TO PEPE

Chelsea are closing in on Raphael Varane after it emerged that Real Madrid are looking to tie down Pepe.

France international Varane, 21, is on the outer at the Santiago Bernabeu having made just 13 La Liga starts this season under Carlo Ancelotti.
The Mirror suggests that Real have offered 32-year old Portugal star Pepe an extension until the summer of 2017 meaning Varane is likely to remain on Ancelotti’s subs bench for the foreseeable future.
Chelsea are likely to hand captain John Terry a new 12-month deal to remain at Stamford Bridge but Jose Mourinho is reportedly still keen on Varane who would only strengthen the current crop of centre-backs including Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
