Real star linked with Chelsea and Di Matteo linked with manager’s job at Fulham
Jose Mourinho has lined up midfielder Sami Khedira to join him at Chelsea, the Sunday Mirror say.
Mourinho is widely expected to return to Chelsea from Real Madid, where Germany international Khedira has been since 2010.
It is claimed that Khedira would cost the Blues around £20m and that strengthening the centre of Chelsea’s midfield is one of Mourinho’s top priorities.
The Sunday Mirror also say Chelsea are set to open contract talks with Frank Lampard.
Former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo is in the frame to replace Martin Jol as Fulham manager, according to the Sunday People.
It is claimed that Jol’s future at Craven Cottage is in doubt because of a dispute over his budget for next season and that Di Matteo is being discussed as a possible successor.
A number of newspapers link Jol with the vacant manager’s job at Everton, including the Sunday Express, who also say striker Mladen Petric is looking to quit Fulham and return to Germany.
Meanwhile, QPR are interested in Southampton right-back Frazer Richardson, again according to the People.
It is claimed that Richardson, 30, is one of the players Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has identified as a possible signing for the Championship next season.
The People also say Newcastle have made a move for QPR striker Loic Remy.
It is claimed the Tyneside club have contacted Remy’s representative in an effort to steal a march on Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool, who have also been linked with him.
