Football rumours: Chelsea sound out Jose Mourinho for third spell in charge

Football rumours: Chelsea sound out Jose Mourinho for third spell in charge

What the papers say

One former manager could be replaced in the Chelsea hotseat by another with Jose Mourinho being lined up for a third spell. Reports in The Sun, via Spanish outlet Relevo, suggest Mourinho has been approached to replace interim boss Frank Lampard.

Arsenal have a growing interest in Switzerland midfielder Djibril Sow according to the Daily Mirror. The Gunners are reportedly stepping up their efforts to sign the 26-year-old from Eintracht Frankfurt.

But full-back Nuno Tavares’ move away from Arsenal looks to have fallen through. The Mirror reports Marseille are no longer interested in turning the 22-year-old’s loan into a permanent move after he was banished from training.

Lionel Messi, 35, and Neymar, 31, are not on a list of players ruled “non-transferable” as part of a PSG rebuild, reports The Sun via Mundo Deportivo. France striker Kylian Mbappe, 24, is among the seven players the club believe must be retained.
