Monday's paper talk: Harry Kane, Paulo Dybala, Lucas Ocampos

Mauricio Pochettino is eyeing a reunion with Harry Kane, while Bristol City target Nigel Pearson.

What the papers say

Mauricio Pochettino is believed to be eyeing a reunion with Harry Kane at Paris St Germain. The Daily Mirror reports the pair have maintained a close relationship since Pochettino left Spurs in 2019, and Kane is believed to be the French giant's number-one target if either Kylian Mbappe or Neymar leave the club in the summer.

Nigel Pearson is reportedly on the brink of taking over at the helm of Bristol City. According to the Bristol Post, the former Leicester and Watford boss is in advanced talks with the Championship club to replace former manager Dean Holden, who was sacked last week following a run of six straight defeats.
