RAM-IFICATIONS
CHELSEA are having doubts over their pursuit of Aaron Ramsey due to the improved form of two current Blues midfielders, according to reports.
Ramsey's contract at the Emirates expires next summer and he is widely expected to leave the club in the summer, if not earlier.
DON'T COME BAK
TIEMOUE BAKAYOKO'S loan spell at AC Milan is going from bad to worse after a Halloween horror show against Genoa.

JAMAAL IN
JAMAAL LASCELLES has dealt Chelsea a major blow by signing a new six-year deal at Newcastle.
The Toon skipper has emerged as a transfer target for the Blues and Tottenham this season as the Premier League big boys look to bolster their defensive lines in January.
RAM RAID
CHELSEA are set to step up their pursuit of Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey as the midfielder learns the reasons why he is being released.
But Manchester United and Liverpool are also hoping to sign the Welshman on a free transfer.

The Spaniard struggled again in the League Cup despite Derby's abject defence netting two goals for the Blues.
SIGNED FOR PEANUTS

The West Ham contract rebel is locked in negotiations over a new deal but the Blues are said to be interested in the midfielder who spent seven years at Chelsea.
SARRI SEARCH
CHELSEA have kick-started attempts to bring former Liverpool winger Suso to Stamford Bridge, according to reports in Italy.
The 24-year-old has been in fine form for AC Milan this season, scoring three times and contributing seven assists in 10 Serie A outings for the Rossoneri.
HAZARD WARNING
HAZARD'S rumoured transfer to Real Madrid could be back on after Los Blancos decided to overlook Antonio Conte due to player power and contract demands.
Conte had a turbulent relationship with Hazard at Stamford Bridge but Real could now go back in for the Belgian once a new manager is announced.
EDEN PROJECT
EDEN HAZARD is set for a return to action against Crystal Palace this weekend.
