What the papers say
Ben Chilwell could be the subject of a three-way tug of war, with Leicester eager to keep the defender at the King Power, while Manchester City and Chelsea are both keen, says the Daily Mail. The paper also claims Pep Guardiola would be ready to sign Chilwell at the right price.
Wolves star AdamaTraore has caught the eye of Jurgen Klopp, reports the Daily Mail. Jurgen Klopp was looking at Timo Werner as a potential attacking option but will now focus on the 24-year-old after missing out on the German.
Napoli have dashed the hopes of Manchester United bringing in KalidouKoulibaly, according to the Daily Mirror. The paper says United were looking at a cut-price deal for the centre-back considering the impact of Covid-19, but the Serie A club are insisting their £100m price tag remains.
Meanwhile, United have been in touch with Bayer Leverkusen about a deal which could see KaiHavertz moving to Old Trafford, says the Daily Star. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reported to be keen on the £90m-rated midfielder, who has scored 11 goals this season.
Nicolo Zaniolo will not be heading to the Premier League, after Tottenham deemed Roma’s £62m valuation of the midfielder to be too high, says the Daily Star. The 20-year-old, capped five times for Italy, has recently been recovering from ACL surgery.
