Blues eye Cahill, striker eyes QPR

By

Chelsea are reportedly preparing to steal England defender Gary Cahill from under the noses of rivals Tottenham.

Arsenal are also interested in signing the Bolton centre-back, who almost joined Spurs in August.

But the Daily Mail say Chelsea now lead the race for Cahill – and are set to offer highly-rated young midfielder Josh McEachran as bait.

The paper suggests Chelsea will offer Bolton £7m for Cahill plus McEachran on loan in a bid to get their man.

Meanwhile, Ghana striker Derek Asamoah plans to train with QPR in order to keep fit ahead of next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Helguson has been in great form.

The 30-year-old told Accra-based Asempa FM he will link-up with Rangers after a three-week rest following the end of the season in South Korea, where he plays for Pohang Steelers.

And with QPR discussing improved contracts for a number of players, the Mail picks up on a possible new deal for Heidar Helguson.

The Icelander has netted six goals for Rangers this season and been compared to Bolton stalwart Kevin Davies by manager Neil Warnock.

The fall-out from Fulham’s controversial victory over Liverpool is still in the news, with Luis Suarez expected to discover today whether he will face another FA charge.

The Liverpool forward has already been charged for allegedly aiming a racist slur at Manchester United’s Patrice Evra at Anfield in October.

And he could also be in hot water for his obscene gesture towards Fulham fans as he left the pitch at Craven Cottage on Monday.

Meanwhile, it looks like Brentford will have to dig deep if they are to have any chance of signing striker Rory Donnelly from Cliftonville.

Bees boss Uwe Rosler recently flew to Northern Ireland to watch him in action, but the Welsh media are reporting that Swansea have made a £100,000 bid for the 19-year-old.
