No place under Conte

Cesc Fàbregas has fallen way down the pecking order at Chelsea under new manager Antonio Conte and that has got the rumour mill cranked up as to where he could end up in the short to medium term. Football web site Fichajes.net have a feeling that one of the clubs which could throw Cesc a lifeline in January is Sevilla. The 29-year-old has all of the attributes which Jorge Sampaoli likes in an attacking midfielder - skill on the ball, good movement and finishing; it might seem crazy but the portal believes a loan is possible.

Serie A calling

In Italy there are a number of clubs who are reported to be pushing hard to sign Fàbregas who is on the radar of AC Milan and Juventus and both clubs are believed to have opened contacts. The player would be quite happy to return home to Spain where he has also been linked to Valencia and Atlético.
