Hangeland contract impasse continues Brede Hangeland's agent has played down Fulham manager Martin Jol's suggestion that the defender is close to signing a new deal at the club.

It seemed like Inter's challenge for the title was beginning to take shape but a dip in form has left them well off the pace.
However, Vidal believes Juve face a tough task as the Nerazzurri still have everything to play for in Serie A as well.
