NPFL: Niger Tornadoes sign Jimoh from Bichi First FC

Former Chelsea star, William Gallas, has tipped Diego Simeone as the ideal short-term fix for the club’s permanent manager role.

Gallas insisted that the Atletico Madrid manager has the winning mentality to win trophies quickly for the Blues.

The Frenchman stated this while speaking to Boyle Sport after Chelsea recently sacked Liam Rosenior as manager.

“For the long-term, Chelsea can bring in Cesc Fabregas because he is doing well with his club (Como) at the moment,” Gallas said.

“If you are thinking about the short-term, they need that experienced head to guide them like Diego Simone and with his personality, he can win things very soon with Chelsea.

“Maybe the Chelsea players need him too because we need to see more warriors and soldiers in the team after what they have shown us.”

Arsenal have stepped up their bid to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is understood to see Tonali as vital squad depth with the Gunners expected to play around 60 games again next season.

However, Newcastle United’s lack of European football means Tonali could push to leave St James’ Park this summer.

Arsenal will have to battle Manchester United for the Italy international’s signature as the Red Devils are also keeping tabs on the player.

Meanwhile, in another development, Fulham star Antonee Robinson has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, The Sun reports.

Man United manager Michael Carrick is keen to bolster his options at left-back, with Luke Shaw his only option in that position at the moment.

This comes after the departure of Tyrell Malacia from Old Trafford.

The report added that Lewis Hall is another name on Man United’s radar, but Robinson could be a cheaper alternative for Carrick’s side.
