Maurizio Sarri, the former Chelsea manager who most recently was at Juventus, has been linked with the vacant hot seat at Tottenham, reports the Daily Mail.
The paper says Spurs have been in touch with the Italian to offer the job from the start of next season.
It comes after Jose Mourinho was sacked this week, with the Portuguese said to be in the running to be named Celtic manager, according to the Sun. The Scottish side have been without a manager since Neil Lennon resigned in February.
Aston Villa could be interested in a move for Jesse Lingard, the Birmingham Mail reports. The Manchester United midfielder has impressed during his loan spell at West Ham and boss Dean Smith has reportedly said he is looking to bolster his attacking options.
Another potential Manchester United departure is Eric Bailly, with Real Betis said to be keen on signing the Ivorian defender, writes the Sun.
Meanwhile, Manchester United and West Ham are said to be keen on West Brom’s goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, but the Baggies will look to keep the 28-year-old at the Hawthorns, writes the Express and Star.
