What the papers say
A pair of Arsenal midfielders could be heading for the Emirates exit door, with the Daily Mirror reporting that the Gunners are keen to offload Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to reduce their wage bill. Manager Unai Emery wants to bring in new blood for the team, including Celtic's Kieran Tierney, the paper adds.
Barcelona may look to pounce on uncertainty over the future of Manchester United's Marcus Rashford by offering a bid north of £100million, the Daily Mirror says. The England international has been on the books of the Red Devils since 2005, but is yet to sign a contract extension with the club, leading to interest from the LaLiga giants.
Alberto Moreno, who has only started two games for Liverpool this term, is set for a move to Barcelona over the summer, the Liverpool Echo reports. Moreno, 26, joined the Reds in 2014 but has struggled for game time of late.
Nicolo Barella is Arsenal's top target over the summer, but doubts over their Champions League prospects may prevent them from landing the Cagliari midfielder, reports the Daily Mirror. The 22-year-old is valued at £43million and the Gunners will need to be in Europe's top club competition to permit such a spend according to the paper.
Rafael Leao, deemed the Portuguese Kylian Mbappe, has caught the eye of Everton, reports the Daily Star. The 19-year-old is currently on the books at Ligue 1 club Lille with his seven goals this campaign helping the side to hold second place.
