Newcastle are a club that seem to be on a constant surge to improve themselves, which is why they have targeted AA Gent’s talented Nigerian winger, Moses Simon, who could be sold for the right price, according to HLN.

Pochettino to be given a massive pay rise

The Telegraph makes a claim that Mauricio Pochettino is set to be offered a mega-contract with assurances over summer transfers that include Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon as the major target for the Lilywhites.

There is more about Spurs as they seem to be tracking defenders to replace Toby Alderweireld, whose contract situation could see him leave Spurs, and have targeted Newcastle’s Jamaal Lascelles, who is also being tracked by Chelsea, according to The Telegraph.

Meanwhile, The Sun claim that according to reports in Germany – but fail to mention which outlet – Arsenal are leading the race for Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz, sending scouts to watch the talented youngster who is also being chased by Liverpool and Southampton.

#2 Manchester United madness

His move to United was blocked last year

According to the usually reliable sources of ESPN, Andreas Pereira wishes to talk to his Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho before penning down a new deal as he wants assurances from the self-proclaimed Special One about his role in the club’s future.

Meanwhile, Fabinho will push for a move to Manchester United this summer after seeing his move blocked last year due to a flurry of players leaving the reigning French champions, say The Sun, who also claim that Monaco value him at £55 million.

#1 Manchester madness

Could he really join the PL?

That’s not all as Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho intends to replace Juan Mata with long-term target Willian, who the Portuguese coached during his time at Chelsea. It is expected that the Blues would demand £30 million for their Brazilian star, say The Sun.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola wants to improve his attack and is willing to let go of Sergio Aguero to do just that. According to Diario Gol, the Catalan wants Antoine Griezmann and will allow Aguero to move to Atletico Madrid in order to facilitate the move.
