The latest gossip and rumours from the newspapers and online:

The identity of the next Chelsea manager differs depending upon which newspaper you read.

The Guardian says MARK HUGHES could be Jose Mourinho's permanent successor with Stoke's progress under the former Stamford Bridge player being a deciding factor.

However, The Independent claims Tottenham's good form this season and his less abrasive style than that of Mourinho has put MAURICIO POCHETTINO ahead of the competition.

The Telegraph also suggests a Stamford Bridge return for CLAUDIO RANIERI can not be ruled out.

JAMIE VARDY'S fine form for Leicester and England has put him on Chelsea's radar with LOIC REMY being offered in part exchange, according to the Daily Mirror.

Arsenal have agreed a £23m fee for Dynamo Kiev ace ANDRIY YARMOLENKO, report the Daily Star.

The Sun says that GARY CAHILL is so concerned about his lack of playing time at Chelsea ahead of Euro 2016 he is ready to quit the club, just a month after signing a new four-year deal.
