Cesc Fabregas could be offered a way out of his nightmare season at Chelsea by Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.

The Spaniard has struggled to hit the ground running that has even led to criticism from Chelsea fans.

Fabregas has managed just one goal for the Blues this term that has left the club sitting in 16th place in the Premier League table.

But according to Spanish publication Fichajes, Rafael Benitez is keen to link up with Fabregas and give him a fresh start at the Bernabeu.

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Marseille captain Steve Mandanda, according to reports.

The Marseille goalkeeper has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs including Everton and Aston Villa.

The 30-year-old's contract is due to expire at the end of the season and the Ligue 1 outfit are said to be keen on cashing in on him in next month's transfer window.

Mandanda plays second-choice to Tottenham's Hugo Lloris for France.

 

Arsenal are monitoring the situation of Basel's Mohamed Elneny, according to reports.

The Gunners showed interest in the 23-year-old last season but following a number of midfield injury blows the Egyptian is said to be a January target.

The Daily Mirror report that Arsenal are keeping an eye on Elneny in an attempt to add depth to their squad and fill the boots of those on the treatment table.

Santi Cazorla, Francis Coquelin, Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are all sidelined through injury.

Elneny's current contract at Basel runs until the summer of 2018.
