Real rule out Tevez move and other red-hot gossip

(14-12-2010) Real Madrid have ruled out a move for Manchester City’s want-away star Carlos Tevez. Real coach Jose Mourinho claims to be a big admirer of Tevez but insists City’s £25m valuation is over the top. Elsewhere, Chelsea are set to fight it out with many of Europe’s top clubs for Portuguese teenage sensation Joao Reis, who plays for second division club Louletano; Tottenham face competition from Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham and Everton for Paris Saint Germain's Benin international midfielder Stephane Sessegnon's signature; Benfica are prepared to pay Manchester City £8m for striker Roque Santa Cruz to Lisbon when the transfer window opens in the new year; and Frank Lampard claims he is in "no doubt" Chelsea will win the EPL this season despite having stuttered in his absence through injury.
