Thursday's paper talk: Eder Militao, David Alaba, Georginio Wijnaldum

| 14 January 2021

Eder Militao, David Alaba and Wilshere are all being discussed on Thursday.

What the papers say

Eder Militao, who has found himself on the fringes of Real Madrid, could be heading to Tottenham, says the Daily Mail. The paper reports Jose Mourinho could look to be united with the Brazilian defender although the 22-year-old has four and a half years left on his current deal.

David Alaba will not be moving to the Premier League after Liverpool dulled their interest in the Bayern Munich man, writes the Independent. The 28-year-old Austrian had been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League champions but the paper suggested that Liverpool may look elsewhere.

Sticking with events at Anfield, and Jurgen Klopp's side will look to improve their defence during the summer with the Liverpool Echo writing they are keen on signing Ben White from Brighton.

Jack Wilshere could be on his way to earning a deal with Bournemouth, reports the Daily Mail. The paper says the 29-year-old, whose contract with West Ham was mutually terminated in October, has caught the eye of Cherries boss Jason Tindall.

Leicester are considering whether to exercise their option on on loan winger Cengiz Under, the Leicester Mercury writes. Under, 23, is on a loan deal from Roma and has only made six appearances for the Foxes this term.
