marvelbet369.com rounds up all the latest transfer news and football gossip from Monday's papers and online...
Everton have made a second bid of £55m, plus two players, for Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha. (FULL STORY)
Arsenal will complete the signing of Lille winger Nicolas Pepe on Tuesday or Wednesday - as long as French champions Paris Saint-Germain do not try to make a late move to hijack the deal. The 24-year-old is reportedly close to a £72m move to the Gunners.
Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac is ‘very confident’ the Bundesliga champions will sign Manchester City winger Leroy Sane. The 23-year-old, believed to be valued at around £90m, has been told he does not feature in Pep Guardiola's starting XI.
City have identified 22-year-old Real Sociedad forward Mikel Oyarzabal as Sane's replacement and are willing to pay the Spain international's €75m release clause.
Wales forward Gareth Bale has been left 'furious' by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez's decision to call off his proposed move to Chinese side Jiangsu Suning, which would have seen him earn more than £1m-a-week.
Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The 24-year-old has ‘reached a verbal agreement’ with the Premier League club and his agent is now due to fly to London for talks.
However, Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes is NOT due to fly to England to have a medical with United, as the Premier League club are yet to agree a fee for the Portugal international.
Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi is reportedly keen on joining up with fellow France international Paul Pogba at Manchester United.
West Ham United are lining up a move for former Arsenal and Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The 35-year-old Togo international is a free agent and Watford and Sheffield United are also interested.
Liverpool winger Ryan Kent will not leave Anfield again on loan, which is a blow for Rangers boss and Reds legend Steven Gerrard. The 22-year-old could instead be set to join Aston Villa or Leeds United in a £10m permanent deal. ()
Liverpool plan to integrate new signing Harvey Elliott into the first-team squad this season rather than him joining up with their academy sides. The 16-year-old arrived at Anfield from Fulham this weekend.
Aston Villa's hopes of signing 26-year-old Stoke City and England goalkeeper Jack Butland have been hit by a sell-on clause that would give West Midlands rivals Birmingham about 20% of the fee.
The Premier League newcomers are also not willing to meet Burnley's £10m asking price for England keeper Tom Heaton.
However, Villa have been given encouragement in their pursuit of Cardiff City goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, 29, after Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock said the Championship club would be willing to listen to offers for the Philippines international.
Newcastle are closing in on long-term target Stanley Nsoki from Paris Saint-Germain, but the Magpies will have to match the Ligue 1 side's £13.5million valuation of the left-back.
Watford are in talks with French club Rennes over Senegal forward Ismaila Sarr, 21, and an agreement on a price is thought to be close.
Arsenal’s 21-year-old Polish centre-back Krystian Bielik is set to leave the Emirates Stadium for one of several interested Championship clubs.
