PEP COULD LINK AGAIN WITH ALVES

DANI ALVES has put Chelsea and Manchester City on alert by admitting he still hopes to play in England. The 34-year-old (below) is on the radar of Blues boss Antonio Conte and his former Barca manager Pep Guardiola after starring for Champions League runners-up Juventus this season. And Brazil right-back Alves, who has one year left on his Juve contract, said: “Last year I turned down many offers from the Premier League because I felt I had to go to Serie A. “To go and play in England you have to know how to defend well. I hope that one day I will go there.” Asked if that could happen soon, Alves added: “Who knows? We’ll see.”
