Villa consider cancelling Drinkwater loan

Aston Villa are considering cancelling Danny Drinkwater's loan deal, according to the Daily Mail.

The on-loan Chelsea midfielder reportedly headbutted team-mate Jota in a training-ground altercation and is facing disciplinary action.

The 30-year-old has made just four appearances for the club since joining in January.

Smith fighting to save Villa job

Dean Smith is facing a fight to save his job as Aston Villa manager, according to The Telegraph.

Villa have lost their last five games in a row across all competitions, including their last two - the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City and a Premier League derby with rivals Leicester City.

With Chelsea visiting Villa Park next, a heavy defeat could put Smith under serious pressure.

Palace ready Batshuayi offer

Crystal Palace are preparing a bid for out-of-favour Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, according to the Express.

The 26-year-old has just one year left on his contract and has played only 224 minutes of Premier League football this season.

Having spent the second half of last season on loan with the Eagles, Roy Hodgson is keen to bring the Belgium forward back to Selhurst Park.

Pogba to stay at Man Utd?

The Red Devils midfielder could end up staying despite rumours of a departure.

Paul Pogba has long been linked with a move away from Manchester United after seeming to be unsettled at the club.

However, the World Cup-winning midfielder is thought to be considering extending his deal at Old Trafford in a dramatic change of heart, according to the Daily Mail.

United's recent upturn in form, coupled with the signing of Bruno Fernandes, is thought to have convinced the midfielder of the Red Devils' ambition and may see him extend his stay in Manchester.

Mourinho: Tottenham don't need a summer rebuild

Jose Mourinho insists he does not expect a major rebuild for Tottenham this summer as the Spurs boss believes the club will be much better next year after recovering from a series of "traumatic" injuries.

Spurs' recent struggles have come following a series of catastrophic injuries, with Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Moussa Sissokho and Steven Bergwijn among those currently on the sidelines.

"I don't think we will have a big rebuild this summer unless something happens during the Euros, we have Sissoko back, we have Kane, we have Son, that is massive," Mourinho told BT Sport.
