Chelsea club secretary David Barnard admits the Blues face a very difficult Champions League last-16 tie against Napoli.

But he was hopeful that Andre Villas-Boas previous experience facing the Italian club could be used to their advantage.

Having worked under Jose Mourinho at Inter, the Chelsea manager will be aware of the threats posed by the Serie A side in a tie that will be a new experience for most of the club s players.

I think at this stage we can come up with the clichés about it being difficult, and it will indeed be difficult, Barnard told Sky Sports.

We ve already seen Napoli in the same group as Manchester City and they are unfortunately not with us, so obviously that has some bearing on the quality of Napoli.

I m sure Andre wi…

Premier League champions have submitted a formal proposal for CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa, according to the Russian club.

It is no secret that the Foxes are in the market for attacking reinforcements and it appears they are determined to bring the Nigerian to King Power Stadium.

CSKA Moscow head coach Leonid Slutsky has moved to suggest that Leicester made a €30 million bid for the winger’s services.

“The English club offered €30 million,” Slutsky told Match TV. “Musa came to me few days ago and asked me when Ranieri was returning from vacation, and I told him I didn’t know, because I don’t know Ranieri.”

Ahmed Musa joined the Russian giants from VVV Venlo back in January 2012 and he quickly developed into an important member of the …

Chelsea representatives have travelled to Santiago to hold talks with Universidad de Chile over the proposed sale of Eduardo Vargas.

The Londoners are said to be leading the way for the exciting prospect according to reports from Chilean newspaper La Tercera who has helped his side reach the final of the Copa Sudamericana, scoring eight goals in the process to become the competition s leading goalscorer.

A number of Europe s elite teams have been linked with moves for the 22-year-old, including Milan, Inter, Arsenal and Liverpool, but Chelsea appear to be in the driving seat.

A director from the English club landed in Santiago on Friday to continue negotiations with the Chile international, with Universidad determined to get the best possible price for their yo…

When Real Madrid lured Gareth Bale away from Tottenham in September 2013, the Santiago Bernabeu side were initially adamant they had paid €91million for the Wales international rather than the €100m reported across England, in an attempt to keep Cristiano Ronaldo happy.

The Portugal international had previously held the world record transfer fee following his €94m move from Manchester United and Madrid feared losing the status to his new team-mate would irk Ronaldo.

It later transpired that Madrid had indeed paid €100m to bring in Bale, but the message they had sent out was clear: Ronaldo was the top dog at the Bernabeu and the arrival of the former Southampton man did nothing to change that, irrespective of his transfer fee.

Not that Ronaldo s statisti…

Wilfried Bony has escaped from an unsuccessful spell at Manchester City by joining fellow Premier League outfit Stoke City in a season-long loan deal on transfer deadline day.

The 27-year-old will bolster a Stoke squad without a win in three Premier League matches this season as he aims to recapture the prolific form he displayed at Swansea City to earn an ill-fated switch to the Etihad Stadium.

Bony joined Swansea for a then club-record fee from Vitesse in 2013 and scored 35 times in 70 matches.

That return included 20 Premier League goals to stand as the division s top scorer in 2014 but his spell in Manchester has been defined by form and fitness struggles.

He scored 11 goals in 46 appearances for the club and has failed to secure a place in Pep Guardi…
