What the papers say
Jesse Lingard will be offered a new deal at Manchester United to prevent the midfielder from being able to leave on a free transfer in the summer, writes the Daily Mail. Lingard, a product of the United academy, has yet to play a single minute of Premier League football this season, but has attracted interest from rival clubs and others in Europe.
Sticking with news from Old Trafford, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side could be looking at Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton, reports the Daily Mirror. The paper said the interest in the Toffees star follows a setback in their pursuit of Erling Braut Haaland.
Chelsea are looking to fund a move for Haaland and West Ham's Declan Rice with a big sale, says the Sun. Among the players said to be on their way out of Stamford Bridge are Ross Barkley, Marcos Alonso and Danny Drinkwater.
But the Blues will also look to beat Manchester United and Newcastle to the signature of Moises Caicedo, currently playing in his native Ecuador, reports the Daily Mail.
Arsenal will look to bolster their attack with the January signing of Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr on loan, writes the Daily Star.
