Chelsea attacker, Pedro has no plans to remain at Stamford Bridge beyond his current deal as he is desperate to make a quick return to the Camp Nou.

Spanish media outlet, Don Balon claims the Spaniard feels his contributions to Chelsea’s success as a team has been going unnoticed by his countries authorities and if he wants to be in their thinking when they are selecting national team players, he has to be closer to home.

Pedro joined Chelsea in the summer of 2015 after the Blues stole a march on Manchester United under the management of Jose Mourinho. He helped them win the Premier League last season, but he has seen his role reduced this season.

His current deal expires in the summer of 2019 and he hopes to make a return to Barcelona on a free transfer at that time. He would be 32 years old then and may also struggle to break into the Barcelona first team who are doing well at the moment.

Pedro has netted 6 goals and provided four assists this season and he is preparing to help the Blues knock Barcelona out of the Champions League when they face each other from Tuesday.

As Real Madrid prepare to make a move for Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, the Spaniard has declared he is currently happy at Old Trafford.

De Gea came close to joining Los Blancos in the summer of 2015, but the deal fell through after some paper works were sent seconds after the close of the transfer window. They have remained interested and with just under two years to run on his current deal, they are planning to make another attempt next summer.

However, de Gea has moved to assure fans of the club that he is happy to have been with them for the past seven seasons and remains committed to helping them achieving everything they can.

Speaking to Daily Star he claimed: “Time flies by so quickly. I’ve been here seven years and I am happy.

“A lot has happened to me – some very good, some not so good, – but to be honest I am just really happy.

“I feel like an important player in the dressing room. I am one of the oldest in the team.

“It makes me happy to see the younger players coming through – and trying to make United big.”

He remains a huge part of Jose Mourinho’s plans for the new season and he has played in every single league game for them this season.

Arsenal are set to move for Manchester United defender Phil Jones as his Red Devils career continues to be shrouded in doubt.

The English defender has come under criticisms from Jose Mourinho this season and his own goal against Tottenham showed just how far off the pace he has become.

He was reportedly in a burst up with the Portuguese manager after their last game against Newcastle, and although Manchester United have denied that, he looks set to leave Old Trafford.

Bookmakers Ladbrokes believe they know where he is headed. According to them, he is leaving the Europa League holders to move to Arsenal is on. They have made the Gunners even to land his signature ahead of Everton, and West Ham.

Arsenal have been in search of a new defender since last summer, and they were close to signing Johnny Evans last month, however, they bided too late in the window and the Baggies decided they could not allow him to join them.

Arsene Wenger made new signings in the offensive department of his team last month, but he knows he would need to add new defenders to his team if he wants to get them back into the top four.
