UK Back Pages: Manchester City Honing In on Simeone, Xavi Likes Sterling

It's the international break, but the back pages are still targeting under-fire Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini. 

As rumours regarding his job safety circulate, so do rumours of a potential successor. 

A new name has emerged in the rumour mill: Diego Simeone. 

The Atletico boss is exactly who Star Sport reports City will target if they part ways with their Chilean manager. 

It also reports that Lukas Podolski has threatened to leave Arsenal, as his on-pitch time has been scant:
