Alonso rules out Estevao loan after squad decision

Xabi Alonso has insisted Estevao is not available for loan in January.

The Brazilian has been peripheral at Chelsea this season, but has been handed a surprise start as the Blues host Man United this afternoon.

It has been reported that Estevao’s frustration with his situation had led club’s to enquire about potential January transfers, but speaking on Friday, Alonso ruled that out unequivocally.

“No discussions about that,” Alonso said at his pre-match press conference. “It’s no secret that all players want to be on the pitch.

“When any of them haven’t had enough minutes because of my decision, I have to take the responsibility for that. But everyone has to be ready because in any game they could be important. Este, his training and his attitude has been good.”

Michael Carrick could find himself back on the chopping block today.

Man Utd are in action in the early kick-off today, visiting Chelsea as they look to nix what is now an eight-match winless run.

Fail to win and the under-pressure head coach will surely be back under the microscope, with his job already thought to be in serious doubt.

Arsenal size up move for Brazil wonderkid

Arsenal have set their sights on Cruzeiro’s Eduardo Pape as a transfer target.

Per TeamTalk, Mikel Arteta wants to add another high-profile young talent to the Gunners’ books and is prepared to rival Bayern Munich and Newcastle for his signature.

At 17, central-midfielder Pape has yet to make his senior debut for Cruzeiro but has impressed scouts with his performances in the club’s youth ranks.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd want Jacobo Ramon

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United could all do battle for the signing of Jacobo Ramon.

The young Spanish centre-back has been integral to Como’s remarkable Serie A rise under Cesc Fabregas, scoring in the 4-1 demolition of United in the Champions League last week.

Links between Ramon and the Premier League are certainly nothing new, with the Daily Mail now suggesting that Chelsea are the latest club to show a keen interest in his services.

It has been claimed elsewhere that Arsenal and United are also keeping a very close eye on his progress in Italy.
