- Barca want Bayern's Alaba
- Pogba to Real 'will be difficult'
- Neymar tells PSG he wants to leave
- Arsenal beat Spurs to Saliba
- United miles from Maguire valuation
That's according to the Express, which claims that Mauricio Pochettino has seen off competition from the European giants to bring him to the club's sparkling new home in London. It's the latest piece of business for a club that has already spent £65 million on Tanguy Ndombele and Jack Clarke this summer.
Now, with Fulham preparing for a season in the Championship and Spurs looking to build on a first appearance in a Champions League final, it appears the 19-year-old isn't just stalling on a new deal but intent on earning another one at another club.
The only stumbling block could be the fee that Spurs have to pay, with Fulham reported to be holding out for £45m for a player who has been at Craven Cottage since the age of eight.
United to face off with PSG for Bruno Fernandes
The chase for Sporting Lisbon prodigy Bruno Fernandes is well and truly on, but Manchester United are unlikely to have things their own way as they attempt to bring him to Old Trafford
So says the Daily Mail, which reports that Paris Saint-Germain have joined the race for the 24-year-old who scored 23 goals last season. The only thing stalling this particular race so far is the monster £55m price tag that has so far put off any potential suitors.
PSG are set to offload some of their fringe players in a bid to free up space for targets like Everton's Idrissa Gueye but with the transfer window set to slam shut in the next few weeks, Sporting Lisbon might well be tempted to drop their asking price -- which could spark a fight for his services.
Tap-ins
- Last night we reported that Carl Jenkinson was being lined up to replace Aaron Wan Bissaka at Crystal Palace. Now it's a man already very familiar to Selhurst Park who appears to be primed to return to the club. The Daily Mail claims that Palace have held further talks with Nathaniel Clyne, the Liverpool full-back, who began his professional career at Palace.
- Just when you thought Real Madrid's interest in Paul Pogba was waning, up pops Los Blancos boss, Zinedine Zidane, with a quote to send fresh hares racing. The Frenchman is likely to command a handsome fee -- with some suggesting that United are holding out for as much as £180m for the player -- but fear not, Madridistas, Zizou has it in hand, according to The Sun.
"We have a plan with the club and we'll see what happens," said the Madrid boss.
