The Daily Star claims Arsenal have targeted Tony Adams for an incredible return to Highbury.

Adams spent his entire career at Highbury, winning the championship four times and winning 66 England caps, scoring five times.

The former Gunners and England skipper is said to be wanted as their new reserve-team boss.

Adams stunned League Two side Wycombe yesterday by quitting as their manager after 11 months in charge.

Bryan Robson walked back into football yesterday as the new boss of West Brom and declared his appointment was no gamble.

The former England and Albion captain claimed he was distressed at having to wait three years for a top-flight job and blamed his absence from the Premiership on the rumours of a drinking culture at Middlesbrough.

He said: "The last year at Boro has been held against me. That is the only way I can explain why I have not had the opportunity." (Daily Express)

Rafael Benitez has paid tribute to Anfield legend Emlyn Hughes, who died of a brain tumour yesterday aged 57.

Liverpool boss Benitez said: "He showed his love for Liverpool by playing so many games. To play 665 games for a club, many as captain, says something.

"I never knew him personally but I have talked with others and he is a legend of this club." (The Sun)

John Terry has signed a new five-year deal worth £22.5million, according to The Sun.

The Blues captain reportedly tops the club’s pay league now after almost doubling his money to £90,000-a-week.

The amazing contract is a reward for the 23-year-old England defender leading Chelsea to the top of the table.

Terry said: "Finally it’s all done and sorted and I’m very happy. I’d love to stay for the rest of my career."

Sir Alex Ferguson has been confronted by the first show of dissent from the Old Trafford ranks in a further blow to Manchester United’s stuttering campaign.

The United manager has already admitted his tinkering with the team has undermined their challenge, as they trail Premiership leaders Chelsea by 11 points and Arsenal by nine.

Now Phil Neville, who has hardly figured and was axed after the 2-0 defeat at Portsmouth, has warned: "I have played three games in six months, which isn’t good enough really." (Daily Mail)
