Chelsea linked with Italian full-back
Chelsea are showing an interest in Genoa full-back Mario Sampirisi, the Daily Mail say.
They are one of the Premier League clubs believed to have had the 19-year-old watched recently.
The Daily Mirror report that Santos have no interest in signing Florent Malouda from Chelsea.
Malouda, out-of-favour at Stamford Bridge and widely tipped to move on in January, has been strongly linked with the Brazilian side.
But the club’s vice-president Odilio Rodrigues has insisted Santos are not lining up a deal.
“There is no interest in Malouda. He is not in our plans,” Rodrigues is quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, Mark Hughes is on the brink of the sack and could lose his job as manager if QPR fail to beat fellow strugglers Reading on Sunday, the Mirror suggest.
It is claimed that Hughes faces a battle to remain in his post, with some members of the Rangers board aware that former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is available.
