PSG could make Rashford offer
The Mirror reports that Paris Saint-Germain are keen on moving for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
After a difficult season, it has been suggested that Rashford could be moved on as United look to rebuild.
The paper writes: “Paris Saint-Germain are poised to reignite their interest in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
“The French giants are long-term admirers of Rashford, 26, and previously held talks with the England international back when it seemed as though a move abroad could be on the cards.
“Rashford opted to stay at Old Trafford [and] went on to enjoy a career-best season under Erik ten Hag, plundering 30 goals. However, he endured a disappointing campaign last year and there has been further speculation over his future with United's top brass believed to be open to offers for all but a handful of key players.
“That has led to renewed interest from PSG.
“PSG's latest stance on Rashford comes just months after it was reported that they were set to shelve their interest due to Manchester United's demands. It was claimed back in April that The Red Devils were demanding a sum of £100 million in order to part with their homegrown striker, who missed out on a place in England's Euro 2024 squad.”
Arsenal may have clear run for Isak
The Sun reports that Chelsea have been priced out of signing Newcastle forward Alexander Isak.
Newcastle want more than £100 million for the Sweden international, leaving Arsenal still with an interest.
The paper claims: “Chelsea have withdrawn from talks over signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle due to their reluctance to meet the club's £100 million-plus valuation.
“Sources with knowledge of the negotiations have told SunSport that Newcastle would not even consider bids below £100m for Isak and believe the Swedish striker's true value in the current market is closer to £120m.
"Isak's current contract at Newcastle expires in 2028 with the club ready to offer him a two-year extension.
“Arsenal are long-term admirers but have yet to make any contact with Newcastle.”
Everton latest club to join Philogene hunt
Everton have joined the race to sign highly rated Hull City winger Jaden Philogene, according to the Daily Mail.
The youngster is also wanted by a number of clubs on the continent, as well as Premier League sides West Ham and Tottenham.
The paper writes: "Everton are lining up a potential £16 million move for Hull City winger Jaden Philogene.
“The 22-year-old had a stand-out season in the Championship last season that has attracted attention from the likes of Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur.
“The England U21 international scored 12 often spectacular goals, and that has also alerted West Ham who are mulling over a bid as they look to strengthen their attacking options this summer.
“However, Everton have stepped into the chase and are willing to offer around £16m for a player that cost Hull around £5m last summer when they signed him from Aston Villa, who are understood to hold a sell-on and buy-back option.
“Philogene grew up in Villa's academy where his early promise attracted enquiries from Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona who have kept him on their watch list.”
Chelsea bid for Dewsbury-Hall
Chelsea are closing in on Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, according to The Athletic.
The 25-year-old midfielder has also attracted attention from Brighton, but the publication believes he will choose between Chelsea or staying put.
The report explains: “Chelsea have submitted an offer to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City.
“The Athletic revealed on Thursday that Chelsea had contacted Leicester to express an interest in recruiting the 25-year-old midfielder, although a bid had yet to be made.
“But the west London side have now sent a proposal for the Englishman to their newly promoted Premier League counterparts.
“If a deal is struck between the clubs, Chelsea would be expected to agree a long-term contract with Dewsbury-Hall’s representatives.
“He is thought to have declined the chance to join Brighton & Hove Albion and there remains an expectation that he will only move to Chelsea or remain at Leicester, where Dewsbury-Hall’s terms run until 2027.”
