2 top Premier club offer out-of-favour Chelsea star lifeline in January

- Ruben Loftus Cheek is wanted by West Ham and Bournemouth in January

- The 22-year-old has been struggling to nail a starting shirt under Sarri

- The England international spent last season on loan with Crystal Palace

Two Premier League sides Bournemouth and West Ham are to battle for Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the January window.

Eddie Howie is keen to add the fast growing England midfielder into his squad to boost their chances of playing in Europe next season.

On the other hand, the Hammers are also interested in the 22-year-old who has struggled to settle into Maurizio Sarri's starting XI.

Both clubs want a loan deal for the Chelsea star with a view to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.

They believe the youngster whose contract ends in 2021 with the Blues wants regular playing time in order to keep his place in the England set-up.

Loftus-Cheek forced his way into England's World Cup squad after an excellent loan stint at Crystal Palace last term.

But the arrival of Jorginho has seen N’Golo Kante in a more advanced role and Mateo Kovacic joining on loan from Real Madrid, the Englishman has fallen down the pecking order.

The 22-year-old has made just six appearances in the Premier League under Sarri this season and is frustrated by the lack of chances given to him by Sarri.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
