Football rumours from the media
Chelsea’s Gary Cahill sees his long-term future at Stamford Bridge, according to reports
What the papers say
Gary Cahill is eager to stay at Chelsea despite having yet to feature in new boss Maurizio Sarri’s Premier League squad this term. The Telegraph says the 32-year-old would rather fight for a place at Stamford Bridge than seek a loan or permanent move elsewhere, shooting down speculation of a transfer to Turkey.
Players to watch
Jack Grealish: Aston Villa look determined to hold on to their attacking midfielder after batting away interest from Tottenham over the summer, the Mirror says. After the closure of the European transfer window later this week, Steve Bruce and the Villa hierarchy are said to want to start talks with the 22-year-old over a new deal.
Reece Oxford: The 19-year-old West Ham defender is on the radar of LaLiga’s Eibar, Spanish paper Marca reports. It comes as the club look to bolster their centre-back options after a poor start to the new season.
