West Ham are looking to make their loan deal for Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard permanent, reports the Daily Mail. Lingard, 28, reunited with former manager David Moyes when he signed for the Hammers in January and has scored six times in eight appearances, but other clubs could look to scupper a deal as the midfielder has found form.

Liverpool will look to seal long-term deals with four key players, reports the Times. The Anfield outfit want to tie Virgil Van Dijk, Fabinho and Alisson Becker to new contracts but will prioritise talks with Mohamed Salah.

Manchester United may not land Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona, with boss Ronald Koeman urging the forward to stay at the Nou Camp, writes Metro.

Theo Walcott, out of contract in the summer, has impressed during his loan at Southampton and club bosses will put forward a permanent offer for the 32-year-old, says the Sun.
