What the papers say

Marseille appear in pole position to land Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood. The Daily Mail says the French side are confident they can outbid Lazio’s £17 million offer for the 22-year-old.

Heading the other way, United are close to bringing in another young talent. The Daily Mirror reports they are near to signing 16-year-old Slovakian winger Samuel Lusale from Crystal Palace.

Newcastle United’s move to bring in Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, 27, has collapsed, according to The Daily Telegraph. The transfer has stalled with Newcastle unable to offload striker Callum Wilson.

Chelsea could be able to land Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen for a reduced fee. The Metro reports that Napoli have told the Blues they are willing to lower their £110.8 million asking price for 25-year-old.
