Reds move for Mexico marksman to upset rivals

Jurgen Klopp could well be set to ruffle a few feathers in his pursuit of Premier League success, with the Liverpool coach rumoured in morning press to be considering a swoop for former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez.

The Mexico international was infamously offloaded by Louis van Gaal in summer, only to go on and grab 19 goals in 23 games for new club Bayer Leverkusen. Will lethal Chicharito return to haunt the Red Devils by crossing the bitter Northwest divide?

Meanwhile, staying at Anfield, Klopp is also attributed with an interest in plucking Poland midfield prodigy Piotr Zielinski from Serie A side Udinese. Breakfast gossip suggests the Reds will make an £11m move to add the highly-rated talent to their ranks.

Chelsea hogging headlines

Not to be outdone, usual big-spenders the Blues are also on the back pages, with the latest name out of the new Chelsea boss hat Italy tactician Antonio Conte. Yet, the board have also been dealt a managerial blow, as Bournemouth bigwig Matt Hulsizer said apparent target and current Cherries coach Eddie Howe is “not going anywhere.”

While, it could be a case of one defender in the door and one out, as Roma are tipped to land England centre half Gary Cahill, with the Stamford Bridge backline commander supposedly worried about his Euro 2016 spot, and set to be shipped out.
