Draxler dreaming of Premier League move
Julian Draxler has admitted a move to the Premier League or La Liga would by a dream come true for him, despite committing his future to Schalke.

Cavani confident Uruguay will qualify
Edinson Cavani believes Uruguay can still qualify for the FIFA World Cup ahead of Tuesday's crucial match against Venezuela.
Uruguay – who finished fourth at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in Germany and won the Copa America one year later – have struggled in their bid to qualify for the 2014 competition in Brazil.
Only the top four teams progress from South American qualifying and Uruguay, who have 13 points from 11 matches, are seventh with three games remaining, meaning defeat to Venezuela could prove fatal.
Uruguay beat France 1-0 in a friendly last week but have not won in their last six World Cup qualifiers, leaving them in a perilous situation.

Shiels has also found himself in hot water this season, with the latest controversy seeing the Scottish Football Association hand him a four-match touchline ban for bringing the game into disrepute for questioning the impartiality of the organisation's judicial panel, as well as the integrity of champion
