What the papers say

Paris St Germain are said to be leading the chase to sign Fulham’s highly-rated teenager Ryan Sessegnon, according to the Daily Mirror. The Ligue 1 champions could have to shell out upwards of £50million to land the 17-year-old, with Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United also keen to tempt the England under-21 international away from Craven Cottage.

Portuguese defender Diogo Leite could end up at Anfield next season, the Guardian reports. The 19-year-old is wanted by Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal, with the Champions League finalists willing to meet his release clause fee.
