Chelsea are reportedly keen on recalling another loanee as Liam Rosenior seeks to bolster his centre-back options.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly withdrawn their interest in signing Raheem Sterling, dealing a blow to the England international’s hopes of a swift return to Premier League action in London.
