High profile but struggling Chelsea star to push for January exit

Only one very swift and unsuccessful 12 months after signing a seven-year contract with Chelsea, Madueke apparently wishes to leave. He is said to have failed to make an impression on CFC manager Mauricio Pochettino.

That is according to TEAMtalk, anyway. In addition to that declaration, the outlet say that the Englishman is dissatisfied and disillusioned following a mere 120 minutes of playing time. If he does go, it could be the latest Blues mistake.

Why this Chelsea star says he hates VAR

Levi Colwill thinks that VAR has an agenda with him. Yeah, you read that correctly, sadly. Err, we are talking about the most scrutinised sports setup in the world at present. So for a collective of adjudicators to single out one young professional for special and unfair treatment is a ridiculous claim, as I see the defender's accusation. Subsequent to not receiving a foul at Old Trafford versus Manchester United, Colwill became agitated. A supposed 'pull' from Scott McTominay went unseen or unpunished by the ref, according to the versatile Chelsea player.

Amazingly, the England international actually goes so far as to suggest that had the situation been reversed, he would have been penalised for the exact same incident. These are fairly strong accusations for a top level footballer to assert, even in the heat of very recent and perceived unjust defeat. Colwill stated that VAR has something against him at the moment - let's hope he was very subtly joking!
