Bye bye Bakayoko – Chelsea should offload their £40m flop sign one of these 3 midfield beasts instead https://www.mediareferee.com/2019/02/05/bye-bye-bakayoko-chelsea-should-offload-their-40m-flop-sign-one-of-these-3-midfield-beasts-instead/

Ashley Cole admits he’s still ‘hurt’ by Arsenal fan hate but doesn’t regret leaving club for Chelsea https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/ashley-cole-monday-night-football-arsenal-fans-hate-chelsea-move-transfer-news-a8763451.html

Ola Aina started at left wing-back for Torino and was hailed by many as the best player on the pitch in a drab 0-0 against SPAL, as he was excellent in his defensive duties, keeping the lethal Manuel Lazzari fairly anonymous.

Having played there off the bench against Blackburn last month, Reece James made his first start in central midfield for Wigan, ahead of natural midfielders like Darron Gibson and Beni Baningime. Needless to say, Reece was excellent yet again and bar an early hiccup, saw the game through effortlessly. The successor to ‘Eleven Azpilicuetas’, eh? These words from Paul Cook say it all, really. Fingers crossed, a strong remaining three months and then the Premier League beckons for Reece, one way or the other. Chelsea will surely be looking to send him on a top-level loan, if not retain him for the first-team but Brighton and Crystal Palace are reported to have been watching him.

Todd Kane enjoyed another fruitful 90 minutes at right-back in Hull City’s 2-0 win over Stoke and was named Supporters’ Man of the Match. Ever present as an overlapping, attacking outlet, Kane’s dribble past the hapless Bruno Martins Indi was what won the free-kick, which was converted by Jarrod Bowen to open the scoring.

Michael Hector was immense for Wednesday, with two of his long passes leading to chances for them (one of which was Lucas Joao’s late goal). He also made a crucial interception to deny what would’ve been a certain Freddie Sears goal.

Trevoh Chalobah was announced Ipswich’s Player of the Month for January but found himself on the bench versus Sheffield Wednesday, the very same day.

Mason Mount will remain out for the next three to four weeks with a hamstring strain
