Sandro is no Pogba Reports in Italy have suggested that the Brazilian wing-back is also wanted by Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, but Chelsea are still clear favourites to complete a deal.

The two London sides came into the derby at Stamford Bridge trending in opposite directions, but the match didn’t play to recent trends as the Blues turned around its poor attacking form while Spurs suffered its first Premier League defeat since late October.
