TURN THE OTHER CHEEK
RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK could be loaned out on the ‘cheap’ — with Chelsea keen to get him some game time.
The 24-year-old midfielder could follow Ross Barkley out of Stamford Bridge as manager Frank Lampard trims his squad following a number of new arrivals.
Loftus-Cheek is on a £9million-per-year contract, and Chelsea are prepared to pay £100,000 a week out of his £173,000 pay packet to get him a new temporary home.

IN AND OUT
Malang Sarr has only just joined Chelsea, after securing a summer move from Nice on a free transfer.
But with chances at Stamford Bridge limited, and the 21-year-old needing game time and valuable experience, it looks like he could be set for a loan move ahead of tomorrow's transfer deadline.
The left-footed defender is reportedly a target for Portuguese giants Porto.
And O Jogo have gone as far as saying a deal for the Frenchman has already been agreed.

MARCO NO-GO
Chelsea's hopes of cashing in on Marcos Alonso appear to be doomed after the Inter Milan CEO revealed he won't be joining the Serie A giants.
The Blues were said to be willing to let the Spanish star leave, after signing Ben Chilwell in the summer.
However, Giuseppe Marotta has appeared to rule out a potential transfer.
He told DAZN categorically: ““We’re not going to sign Marcos Alonso on the deadline day.”
Alonso has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, with Chilwell starring in the Blues' 4-0 rout of Crystal Palace on Saturday.

CROUCHS' CLAIMS
Former England striker Peter Crouch may have just made a Hammers fans happy with his most recent assessment.
Crouch had his eye on Chelsea target Declan Rice amid the speculation which revolves around him and was very impressed.
He said on BT Sport “I watched Declan Rice closely, because of the price tag with the rumors of him potentially going to Chelsea.”
“But he didn't look like a man who wanted to move on.”
“Definitely very sound, making tackles, the work-rate he got through, the intensity of his closing down was magnificent.”
“And when he did sweep up, invariably his distribution was very good.”

DECLAN DEMAND
Despite bringing in 7 signings this summer, Lampard still feels as if there is one more missing piece to the Chelsea puzzle.
He is a huge admirer of West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, and the 21-year-old has caught the eyes of a host of clubs.
Reports suggest that Frank Lampard has sent a demand to the board to go out and get his target.
The board havea little over 24 hours to answer.

CHO-SEN TO STAY
Lampard wants him and he doesn't want to leave which has given Bayern no choice but to end their pursuit in Callum Hodson-Odoi.
An injury to Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane has forced them to go out and search for a temporary replacement which was identified in CHO, but he has chosen to stay.

BY JORG
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is ready to ditch plans to bring in Houssem Aoaur – and instead get Jorginho to switch across London.
The Chelsea star could still be sold as Blues owner tries to balance the books after spending more than £210million this summer.
Lyon are refusing to do a deal for their 22-year-old midfielder that does not involve a big lump sum up front and many sources are reporting that the French club have now decided he will NOT be sold in this window.
He was named in the Lyon squad for their clash with Marseilles this weekend, which suggests he is part of their plans for this season.
The Gunners will only pay in instalments and the French club are not happy with those conditions, having already turned down a £31m staggered payment plan from the Londoners earlier this summer.
So, Arsenal chiefs could now go back in for Jorginho as the anchor man they desperately need, claims Sky Sports.

RUD AWAKENING
Tottenham Hotspur are still in the hunt for Inter Milan central defender Skriniar however they may have to turn their attentions to Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger as a backup option.
Lampard's transfer overhaul has seen Rudiger lose his place in the squad so a move across London could be favorable for the German international.
But according to Sky Sports, Frank Lampard would rather Rudiger not join a direct rival such as Tottenham.
However, Fabrizio Romano has stated that Inter won't sell Skriniar on final hours of deadline day because they'd have to find a replacement.
This could force Spurs to go all out for Rudiger.

CHEEK ON CHEAP LOAN
Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be loaned out on the 'cheap' — with Chelsea keen to get him some game time.
Midfielder Loftus-Cheek, 24, could follow Ross Barkley out of Stamford Bridge as Frank Lampard shakes up his squad and looks to keep them sharp.

Southampton have been looking into the package while others are considering it before the close of business on Monday.
Saints are weighing up whether he is better value than Nice midfielder Wylan Cyprien, although his club want a guaranteed buy at the end of a year, Aston Villa looked into a move but chose Barkley, who is on MORE.

The two clubs agreed a loan deal yesterday for £4.5million, with no obligation to sign permanently.

YOKO GO-GO
Chelsea have agreed to loan £40million flop Tiemoue Bakayoko to Napoli.
The Blues had been in talks with AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain over a £30m deal for the French midfielder, which would see an initial loan turned into a permanent transfer next summer.
But neither Milan or PSG were prepared to meet the valuation Chelsea put on the 26-year-old and both clubs have ended their interest.
Napoli have now swooped in to take the midfielder on a season-long deal after agreeing to pay a £4.5m fee.

LAMPARD: CALLUM COULD GO
Frank Lampard admitted he cannot say for certain that Callum Hudson-Odoi will not make a deadline-beating move to Bayern Munich.

Yet Bayern also declared their interest in the England attacker and are desperate to sign him.
Hudson-Odoi, 19, only signed a five-year deal at the Blues 12 months ago and Lampard will hold talks with him before tomorrow’s deadline.
Lampard said: “There is no definitive answer — by Monday we will know the answer.
“Bayern might have declared their interest, which is one thing, but Callum is absolutely part of my plans.
“What Callum wants comes into consideration. He is our player and everything has to be right for everyone.”
