What the papers say
The saga of Eden Hazard's future at Stamford Bridge has taken another twist, reports the Evening Standard. The Belgium winger's hopes at sealing a move to Real Madrid this week have been dealt a blow by the reported imminent departure of Maurizio Sarri as head coach, the paper says.
Another potential Premier League departure over the summer could be Arsenal's striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to the Times. The paper says the Gabon international has been offered nearly £300,000 a week by Chinese Super League clubs Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG.
Manchester United are leading the chase to sign Leicester midfielder James Maddison, reports the Independent.
Another potential summer arrival at Old Trafford is Lille goalkeeper Mike Maignan, but the Red Devils will have to pay more than £30m to secure the 23-year-old, reports the Daily Record.
Cardiff are keen on keeping hold of their player of the season Neil Etheridge despite an £8m bid from Aston Villa for the 29-year-old Philippines international, reports Wales Online.
