Tottenham Hotspur and England right-back Kieran Trippier is reportedly of interest to Napoli, but they could face competition from Manchester United.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio’s website, the Azzurri have earmarked the 28-year-old as a potential target for the summer.

Trippier has played 33 times for Spurs this season and has represented his country on 16 occasions.

Lazio defender Luiz Felipe has reportedly caught the eye of Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks.

According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Coach Mauricio Pochettino is looking at Luiz Felipe due to concerns over the long-term future of Toby Alderweireld.

The 22-year-old has an Italian passport and recently turned down the opportunity to represent the Azzurri at Under-21 level as he is waiting for a call-up to the Brazil squad.

Maurizio Sarri claims he would take a pay cut if the ‘very strange’ Premier League scheduled fixtures better, with Chelsea forced to play twice in four days.

Sarri regularly criticised Serie A during his Napoli tenure for not giving them more time to prepare for European matches.

His latest complaints come after Chelsea were scheduled to face West Ham United on Monday, before their Europa League trip to Slavia Prague 72 hours later.

Gonzalo Higuain accepts he is still adapting to English football but confirms he wants to stay at Chelsea beyond this season. 

Higuain still has only three goals for Chelsea since arriving from Juventus in January, prompting manager Maurizio Sarri to admit the striker was struggling.

There is also doubt over whether the Blues will be allowed to keep him, given they are in the midst of appealing a transfer ban.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri does not believe Leonardo Bonucci is a racist but claims the Juventus defender ‘made a mistake’.

Bonucci controversially suggested Moise Kean had provoked Cagliari fans into racially abusing him during Juve’s 2-0 win at the Sardegna Arena on Tuesday.

Sarri, meanwhile, had one of his players – Callum Hudson-Odoi – suffer at the hands of monkey chants during England’s 5-1 win in Montenegro last month.

Milan reportedly want Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino to be their next Coach.

According to Corriere della Sera, keeping Gennaro Gattuso will only be ‘considered’ if Milan qualify for the Champions League.

Despite his Arsenal connections, the newspaper writes CEO Ivan Gazidis has identified Pochettino as ‘the ideal candidate’.

The Argentine has been at Tottenham since 2014, turning them into Premier League contenders.

Mario Balotelli said Leonardo Bonucci is “lucky I wasn’t there” when Moise Kean was being racially abused, while Raheem Sterling and Stormzy also criticised the Juventus defender.

Italy international Kean was jeered by a small section of the Cagliari fans throughout the Serie A game last night, but after scoring a late goal to make it 2-0, the 19-year-old celebrated by standing in front of the ultras with arms outstretched and neutral facial expression.

Udinese are reportedly keen on signing out-of-favour Milan midfielder Andrea Bertolacci this summer.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio’s website, Udinese ‘really like’ Bertolacci, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

However, Di Marzio warns they face competition from Genoa, where the 28-year-old played the best football of his career.

The Roma youth product would have also rejected an offer from Fulham in January, given their lowly ranking in the Premier League table.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has conceded that striker Gonzalo Higuain is finding English football ‘difficult’.

Sarri and Higuain were reunited in January after their 2015-16 campaign together at Napoli, during which time the striker scored a record-breaking 36 goals.

However, the Juventus loanee has netted just three times in 10 appearances for Chelsea, all of his strikes coming against relegation fodder Huddersfield Town and Fulham.

Edin Dzeko has reportedly apologised to his Roma teammates after being fined for his row with Stephan El Shaarawy.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Dzeko shook El Shaarawy’s hand in front of the squad during training on Thursday.

“I was wrong! Now we’re all together, we can still go up the table,” he is quoted as saying by the newspaper.
