Paper round-up: Arsenal tipped to sell duo

Arsenal are looking to sell Shkodran Mustafi and Granit Xhaka and replace them with James Maddison and Fulham’s former Tottenham man Ryan Fredericks, reports claim.

The Daily Mirror declare that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger “is ready to kick-start the Arsenal revolution” by “bombing out” midfielder Xhaka and defender Mustafi at the end of the season.

It is claimed that Arsenal want to replace Xhaka with highly-rated Norwich City youngster James Maddison, who has been linked with several other top-flight clubs, including Tottenham, and is said to be valued at £30m.

Fredericks has also been touted for a summer move to the Emirates Stadium.

The right-back, who made two first-team appearances for Spurs, is approaching the end of his contract at Fulham and was also recently linked with West Ham.

Meanwhile, West Ham are interested in signing on-loan goalkeeper Joe Hart from Manchester City on a permanent basis, again according to the Mirror.

Real Madrid’s apparent pursuit of Chelsea’s could depend on whether or not Gareth Bale leaves the Spanish club, the Daily Mail say.

The Sun say Juventus are interested in signing striker Alvaro Morata from Chelsea this summer but only in a cut-price deal.

And, also according to The Sun, Crystal Palace are ready to sell Christian Benteke.
