Rumour Reel: Defrel to Arsenal, Davies Blues bound while Teixeira to the Black Cats?

Reports coming out of Stamford Bridge have indicated Conte still wants to switch to his favoured 3-5-2 formation, but is yet to possess the personnel to do so.

Davies can play on the left of a three man defence and played it perfectly in Wales’ Euro 2016 campaign, which saw them reach the semi-finals.

The Blues added David Luiz and and Marco Alonso on summer’s deadline day, but neither have been able to find their feet while Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic have had a torrid start to the Premier League season.

Teixeira to Black Cats

David Moyes’ Sunderland are reportedly interested in moving for former Liverpool man Joao Teixeira in January.

Teixeira left Merseyside for Porto in an attempt to play regular first team football, but doesn’t seem to be in manager Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans after failing to make an appearance thus far.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder possesses excellent dribbling and passing skills, but with Sunderland struggling at the back, he isn’t a player Moyes particularity needs.
