Monday Papers: Harry Maguire, Kieran Trippier, Maxi Gomez

New signings for Tottenham and Maurizio Sarri's future both make the Monday papers.

What the papers say

Tottenham have drawn up a wishlist of four players as they hope to mount a fresh assault on the Premier League and Champions League next season. Real Betis playmaker Giovani Lo Celso and Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele are the top targets, with Maxi Gomez from Celta Vigo and Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon also being linked with a move to North London, according to the Daily Mirror.

Nabil Fekir, Lyon's attacking midfielder and captain who has lit up Ligue 1, is wanted by both Manchester City and Liverpool, reports the Daily Express.
