Paper round-up: Tottenham leading Chelsea and Arsenal in race to snap up Championship star

Tottenham have again been linked with Norwich City full-back Max Aarons.

The Daily Mirror say Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested in the highly-rated 18-year-old but that Spurs are leading the race to sign him this summer.

Aarons has impressed in the Championship this season for Norwich, who apparently want £15m for him.

Meanwhile, there continues to be much speculation over the future of Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

The Belgian has told French radio station RMC that he has made a decision on his future.

His contract at Stamford Bridge expires next year and Hazard has frequently spoken of his dilemma over whether to sign a new deal or leave the door open to a potential move to Real Madrid, who have been repeatedly linked with him.

The Daily Telegraph say contract talks have not progressed and that Hazard is expected to tell Chelsea he wants to leave at the end of the season.

The Mirror say Real are confident of signing him and are ready to spend £100m in order to get the deal done.

The Sun suggest Hazard moving could trigger other transfers, including Mateo Kovacic joining Chelsea on a permanent deal from Real and therefore convincing the Blues to sell Callum Hudson-Odoi to Bayern Munich.
