FRANK LAMPARD and Steven Gerrard’s midfield battle has continued into management — after a tug-of-war for Chelsea star Mason Mount. Midfielder Mount , 20, looks set to play a key role for the Blues this season in Lampard’s first year in the hot-seat at Stamford Bridge. But last summer the Englishman was considering various loan offers after a season in Holland with Vitesse Arnhem. Werder Bremen, Sporting Lisbon and Red Bull Leipzig had shown interest, as well as Bournemouth and Norwich. Dad Tony, 62, revealed: “We went up to London and met Frank and Jody [Morris, Lampard’s assistant at Derby and now Chelsea] at a hotel. “Talk about inspired! I wanted to play for Frank after that meeting. I knew Mace was only going to go one place. LET'S BE FRANK “Frank was brilliant, explaining what he could give Mason. He knew him inside out, was talking about games he’d watched Mason play. “We spoke to Steven Gerrard about going to Rangers and Steven Gerrard was very … [Read more...] about Frank Lampard and Rangers boss Steven Gerrard fought over signing Chelsea ace Mason Mount

Fernando Torres posts amazing throwback picture on eve of last ever game for the ex-Liverpool and Chelsea star
FERNANDO TORRES shared a brilliant throwback photo on the eve of his final professional appearance. The striker, 35, will play one last time tomorrow before hanging up his boots for good. From the start to the end, getting the most out of every single moment. @saganofficial17 @Atleti pic.twitter.com/1IdQDCDIeK — Fernando Torres (@Torres) August 22, 2019 His Sagan Tosu side take on Vissel Kobe in their J1 League clash, which is an important game with both sides at serious risk of relegation. In a bizarre twist of fate, Torres will go up against two of his long-term international team-mates with Andres Iniesta and David Villa set to play for Kobe, who also have Thomas Vermaelen and Lukas Podolski in their squad. The trio helped Spain win Euro 2008 - their first major trophy for 44 years - and then the World Cup in 2010. Torres and Iniesta were both part of the Euro 2012 squad, too, with the striker bagging in successive European Championships finals.

Chelsea hero Hernan Crespo ‘had orgies with many women’ and said ‘always more girls’
At the height of his powers, Hernan Crespo was one of the most clinical strikers in all of Europe - but the former Chelsea man wasn't just content with scoring on the pitch. During his illustrious career, the Argentine superstar - who turns 47 on Monday - turned out for the likes of the Blues, Inter Milan and Lazio , notching over 270 goals in 608 career games. After a number of lucrative moves, Crespo had racked up a wedge of money in the early years of his career, and he revealed that his wealth and success on the pitch made him a huge hit with the ladies. Crespo was single until he met his wife, Alessia Rossi Andra, at the age of 27. And after stepping forward to admit that he'd taken part in an orgy on an Argentinian television show, the former Serie A star lifted the lid on his wild sex-life.

Chelsea set to finalise £45million deal for Man City star Raheem Sterling
Chelsea expect to complete a £45million deal for Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling this week, with the England international set to sign a four-year deal at Stamford Bridge. The former Liverpool star has decided to leave the Etihad rather than renewing his contract, which has just 12 months to run in the north-west. Pep Guardiola is keen to keep Sterling but he’s failed to give the forward the assurances that he was seeking over playing time, with Sterling feeling he had little choice but to seek an exit. Thomas Tuchel is keen to transform his frontline after the departure of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan and he is hopeful of signing Raphinha from Leeds United, though Chelsea face competition from Barcelona. But Sterling would be an all-together bigger coup and the Mail say Chelsea are closing in on a £45m deal for the forward. Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is keen to kick off a new era at the club with a number of statement signings and he could continue … [Read more...] about Chelsea set to finalise £45million deal for Man City star Raheem Sterling

Gary Cahill proved his competitive nature is still alive and well despite nearing the end of his career with a committed dive in a school sports day sack race. The former Chelsea and England defender, 36, went sack-to-sack with other parents at his child's sports day.

But he found himself neck-and-neck with another dad. As losing was out of the question, Cahill chucked himself at the finish line, leaping like a salmon to secure first place.

Was Spencer Matthews axed from I’m A Celebrity after demanding steroids from show’s bosses?
Spencer Matthews has been frank about leaving I’m A Celebrity after just three days because of his addiction to steroids.

In the end the only option was for him to leave.’ After quitting the show, Matthews admitted he used steroids to bulk up for a charity boxing match. He said: ‘I screwed up and have some explaining to do. ‘Shortly after I arrived in Australia I told the production team I was taking a steroid-based medication that began some weeks ago.

Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha wants $1,500 per radio appearance to talk about the royals
Meghan Markle's half-sister Samantha wanted $1,500 from a radio station to discuss the royal family earlier this week. In an email conversation between The Domenick Nati Show and Samantha, obtained by Newsweek , the duchess's sister wanted $1,500 for a phone interview that would be played on the radio. "I would do it for you for 1500," she wrote on Thursday, noting that her minimum is usually "much higher." "But I would only do it if I'm not being set up by a shock jock who wants to be rude and slam the phone down because I worked in radio I am good with comebacks so I don't want to embarrass the host," Samantha added. "If it's a straightforward interview that's cool." Following the exchange, The Domenick Nati Show refused to pay the large fee and ended their request. After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married at Windsor Castle in May, the show reached out to Samantha through Facebook for an interview to discuss her newlywed sibling but she did not respond until this … [Read more...] about Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha wants $1,500 per radio appearance to talk about the royals
