What the papers say

Manchester United are ratcheting up their efforts to buy Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to reports. The Sun says the Red Devils are ready to up the ante with an offer of £50million for the England Under-21 international. However, Selhurst Park moneymen may hold out for nearer to £60million, according to the paper. Their Old Trafford counterparts are reported to feel such a fee is excessive, given his age and experience. They are said to have had a £40million bid rejected already.

Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Marseille right-back Hiroki Sakai, according to Sky Sports. The 29-year-old is older than Mauricio Pochettino's main targets, although the Japan international fits the bill, the broadcaster says. The club are said to be willing to listen to offers for right-backs Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier.
