Whilst the darker corners of the rumour mill are whispering blasphemous links between Ryan Giggs and the Wigan job, Manchester City are closing in on Pep Guardiola. The Bayern Munich boss is being lined up as the next manager of the Premier League champions and the Germans are in a cold sweat with chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admitting that Pep doesn't 'place much value in a long-term contract' (Express).

Real Madrid are said to be 'within hours' of completing the signing of red hot Spanish prospect Marco Asensio. The 18-year-old sensation has been impressing for Mallorca so Ancelotti wants to waste no time for fear someone else's ears might prick up for the winger.
