As ever, it’s Manchester City at the forefront of transfer speculation after the weekend with Pep reportedly hot on the tails of not one but two England stars from Premier League rivals Leeds United and West Ham.
Manchester United are also in the conversation but their main focus appears to be Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo, but they could face competition for that particular signature.
Newcastle United’s defeat to the Red Devils has once again highlighted the need for further recruitment at St James’ Park and they could look to La Liga for a new centre back.
Also in the paper’s are Brunely’s Dwight McNeil, who discussed his summer transfer window and the speculation surrounding potential moves from Turf Moor, and Arsenal’s defender Ben White, who has named the former Brighton teammate he considers “one of the best centre backs in the Premier League.”
All that and more in Monday morning transfer runour round-up.
