The backpages are once again filled with talk of Roman Abramovich's Chelsea revolution. Top of his hit list is now Everton wonderkid Wayne Rooney, according to the Sunday Express, the Mail on Sunday and the Daily Star Sunday.
But the Sunday People insists that even reported bids of �30m will not persuade Toffee's manager David Moyes to part with his young star.

The Sunday Times reveals that Abramovich has already been knocked back in an audacious swoop for Arsenal ace Thierry Henry.
The News of the World, meanwhile, leads with the news that Arsenal lynchpin Patrick Vieira has signed a new three-year deal at the North London club.
It believes the Gunners skipper has agreed a �11m contract to end speculation of a move to Madrid or Manchester.
Saturday's Wimbledon final between Venus and Serena Williams is greeted with mixed ovation.
The Observer pays tribute to Serena - the "Sister Superior" - after her three-set win.
But the Sunday Telegraph says the younger sibling was handed her Wimbledon title "on a plate", thanks in part to Venus' injury and also courtesy of the lack of fire in the sisters' tennis rivalry.
The Independent on Sunday reflects on a "painful" final, referring to the stomach problems endured by Venus.
