Alba keen to stay at Barcelona despite Spurs rumours

-
The Spain left-back has been linked with a move to north London but he is determined to stay at Camp Nou
Spain international Jordi Alba insists he wants to remain at Barcelona for the rest of his career.
Left-back Alba has spent six seasons at Camp Nou but has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham in the off-season.
However, the 29-year-old’s sole intention is to continue his career at Barca.
Asked if Tottenham’s reported interest was affecting him, Alba told a news conference: “No, no, I’m very good at Barca. If it were up to me, I would stay at Barcelona all my life.
“But it does not depend on me but on what the club wants. It also depends on my performance, which this season has been very good, but I do not see myself outside of Barcelona.”
Tied down to a contract with Barcelona until 2020, Alba has a €150million release clause.
Alba has won four LaLiga titles with Barca and also lifted the Champions League in 2014-15.

Sarri given a month to save his job

-
Maurizio Sarri’s fate as Chelsea’s head coach will in effect be determined over the remainder of this month as the Italian seeks to convince the club’s hierarchy that he can recover some poise and still deliver Champions League qualification for next season. Sunday’s humiliating 6-0 thrashing at Manchester City, Chelsea’s worst defeat since 1991 and a loss which confirmed a drop from fourth to sixth place, has left Sarri clinging to his position only seven months into a three-year deal. The head coach will hope progress in the Europa League, starting with Thursday’s knockout tie at Malmö, earns him time, given the competition’s winners gain entry into next season’s Champions League. Yet eliminating the side who finished third in the Swedish league last season would only marginally bolster his job prospects unless a team clearly struggling to come to terms with his tactical demands can improve their performances over a daunting run of domestic fixtures. Chelsea face Manchester...
