Chelsea's £26m sale of unwanted star hailed despite Enzo Maresca's transfer wish
Renato Veiga is set to join Villarreal with Chelsea banking a £14m profit for an unwanted defender signed last summer as Enzo Maresca hopes to welcome in new defenders It has been hailed as Chelsea's best bit of departing business since Clearlake Capital arrived as owners. Renato Veiga arrived from Basel months ago in a £12 million deal, made one Premier League start before heading to Juventus on loan and is now off to Villarreal for up to £26 million. That the defender's sale comes at a time when head coach Enzo Maresca has made it clear that he is keen to strengthen his backline following the season-long injury to Levi Colwill should still not come as a surprise. Benoit Badiashile is still on his way back from injury, though Tosin Adarabioyo is fit to feature against West Ham on Friday night, while several other fringe Chelsea stars are set to depart in the next 10 days. Italian coach Maresca had long made up his mind that Veiga was not of the standard required, despite claiming early last season that he valued the now senior Portugal international's versatility when using him further forward in the Europa Conference League But demanding more game time at his favourite position before heading on loan to Juve for the second half of the campaign did not help Veiga's cause either, with those requests leading to a dim view taken behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge. Asked midway through last season, shortly before he went on loan to Juve, if Veiga deserved more game time, Maresca joked: 'I said many times, I also want long hair, but we also have more than 20 players, 25 players, and they all want to play but it's not possible.' He then added that he valued the versatility of Veiga, 22, and stressed that his use in other roles led to a first senior national team call-up. 'We bought Renato from Basel, he arrived here, has played in different positions, played well, and this allowed him to join the national team for the first time in his life, the senior national team,' Maresca added at the time. 'Probably if he is not playing in his position, and also in the international team not playing in his position, it means he can do well, and we are very proud of all of our players who join their international teams but especially in this case, a young player who joins Chelsea, starts to play different positions, four or five different positions, that gives him the chance to join the national team so we are very proud about that. 'I had a chat with Renato and I said exactly the same thing I just say to you in terms of playing in the position he is playing with us gave him the chance to join the international team and also probably gave him the chance to get speculation around him so that means clubs are probably looking at him. 'Clubs are looking for players that are doing well, not that are doing bad. Players that are doing well with the club, with the international team, and as I said, for me, if there is a player who just wants to play in one position, they're going to struggle.' Veiga went on to make a dozen Serie A starts in Turin, earning rave reviews. His sale would take Chelsea's income from sales in this window to beyond £200m.

Wrexham's 'dream' signing still available as Ryan Reynolds urged to blow wage budget
Wrexham are being urged to break their wage structure for a Premier League winner who is available as a free agent, with former boss Dean Saunders firmly backing the bold move Wrexham have been urged to blow their wage budget out of the water to secure the signing of Jamie Vardy. The former England star has been linked with numerous clubs since leaving Leicester City at the end of last season, including Everton, Celtic and Rangers. Serie A champions Napoli are one of the latest teams reported to be considering a move for the 38-year-old striker, who scored 200 goals in 500 games for the Foxes. However, with less than two weeks of the summer transfer window left, Vardy remains unattached. Championship new boys Wrexham were one of the earliest clubs said to be sniffing around him after they were promoted from League One in April. And the Welsh side's former manager Dean Saunders believes they should take the plunge by making an approach for Vardy. The ex- Liverpool and Aston Villa striker said Vardy's wages could be one stumbling block in bringing him to Wrexham. However, with the financial might of Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac behind them, Saunders reckons it's a dream signing worth taking a chance on. Speaking to OLBG, he said: "Jamie Vardy, he's 38, but he's still quick. You never lose your eye for a goal, ever. Even now I can't play, but my football brain's still there, I just can't run anymore. Well Vardy can still run and his football brain is still the same. "To score as many goals as he scored, you've got to anticipate before everybody else where the ball's going to go. And he does. So I'd like to see Wrexham sign Jamie Vardy if they could. "Obviously I think his last wages was probably £150,000 a week, so they're about £130,000 short. But you never know at his age, you might just want to be part of it for two years, to get him to 39. I still think he's a good player. I still think he'd do a job in the Championship." Wrexham have hardly been shy about splashing the cash on transfer fees this summer. The Red Dragons have broken their club record on three occasions, with the highest amount paid for Ipswich forward Nathan Broadhead, who joined in a deal reportedly worth up to £10million. One benefit of a possible move for Vardy would be his availability as a free agent, potentially allowing for more to be spent on wages. It would not be the first time Wrexham have tried to pull off a coup during the current window either. The ambitious club previously made an attempt to attract former Manchester United star Christian Eriksen. While they were ultimately unsuccessful, the Danish midfielder's agent Martin Schoots said that Wrexham was a "hugely impressive project." Director Humphrey Ker addressed speculation around the club's alleged interest in Vardy back in May. Speaking on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, he insisted at the time that they were not targeting a swoop for the striker. Presenter Moyles asked him if Wrexham had signed Vardy after the question was sent in by a fan of the club. Ker responded without hesitation: "No." Moyles followed up by querying if the club was considering a move for the former England striker, to which Ker repeated: "No." Whether Wrexham decide to make an approach remains to be seen after Vardy's wife, Rebekah Vardy, recently fuelled speculation that he could be heading to the MLS with Inter Miami. She triggered rumours after sharing a snap of their children in the club's kits on social media, but such claims were later shot down, with Vardy's next move still unknown.

Shrewsbury boss Appleton 'very concerned' by form
Beleaguered Shrewsbury Town boss Michael Appleton says he is "very concerned" about his side's poor form and they must be "miles better" if their fortunes are to slumped to a fourth successive defeat - and third on the bounce in League Two - with Wednesday's 4-1 hammering by Notts result leaves Appleton's side with just one point from their first four league games and second bottom of the table in 23rd place."I take responsibility," Appleton, who signed a two-year contract in May, told BBC Radio Shropshire."I'm the manager and I've done this a long time. I'm not going to shy away from anything."We have to be better. We have to be miles better - but it's my job to try to make that happen." Following relegation from League One last term, Town have failed to find any momentum at the start of this term in the fourth tier, with Appleton saying he has had to deal with the "baggage" of last season's addition, director of football Micky Moore has left the club and a potential takeover of the club rumbles the field, Town have scored only one goal and conceded 10. Their solitary point has come from a goalless draw at home to Bromley on the opening latest defeat by the Magpies exposed familiar frailties despite Appleton's tactical tweak of playing four central defenders in a back four as Town fell 2-0 behind after 20 minutes at Meadow John Marquis scoring Town's first league goal of the season to give Shrewsbury hope before half-time, the home side clinically picked the visitors off in the second period to seal a comfortable win. 'A lot of voices that weren't happy with each other' "There're nowhere to hide," Appleton said. "I'm very concerned. The reality is we need to be better, keep clean sheets and try to score that first goal."Scoring the first goal gives you so much more opportunity to get something out of the game but we haven't done that in a while."Appleton has brought in eight new players this summer in a bid to reshape his squad and, with the exception of young loanees Elyh Harrison and Tommy McDermott, nearly all have experience of the English Football is that aspect that is leaving Appleton scratching his head over performances."It's not as if there's kids in there," he said."There's a lot of experienced players in there who know this level and have done well and for whatever reason are not performing to the capabilities they can do."They're going to need picking up. I didn't have to say too much [after the game] because they were saying it all, which is a positive thing."There were a lot of voices who weren't happy with each other. Hopefully that's a good sign going forward." With the next game coming on Saturday against Swindon Town, Appleton says they can do little else but try to put things right as quickly as possible."I do and certainly all the players do - I can't wait for Saturday now," he said."It's moments like this, when you're under the pump and people are coming for you, that you find out who's with you and who's not, who's capable of getting points in games, getting goals and keeping clean sheets."These are the moments when you find out what you've got in your dressing room."I'm finding out about the players early which is a good thing."
