Paper round-up: Henry will not take coaching role, Mail on Sunday say

Thierry Henry will not take a coaching role at Arsenal and wants the manager’s job, the Mail on Sunday say.

Former Gunners midfielder Mikel Arteta has been tipped to succeed Arsene Wenger as manager at the Emirates Stadium, with Henry linked with a backroom role.

But the Mail on Sunday say the former Arsenal striker is chasing the top job and will meet with the club’s hierarchy to make his case.

Meanwhile, Juventus are set to renew their interest in Hector Bellerin – but only if Arsenal reduce their £50m asking price, the Sunday Express say.

Tottenham want to sign Colombia midfielder Wilmar Barrios, according to The Sun on Sunday.

The 24-year-old plays for Boca Juniors in Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino’s native Argentina and is the latest player to be touted for a summer move to north London.

Spurs are said to have been watching him closely ahead of a potential £25m deal.

Tottenham are close to agreeing a deal to sign Barcelona teenager Riqui Puig, the Mail on Sunday say.

Chelsea are resigned to Pochettino staying at Spurs following reports the Blues wanted him as their new manager, the Sunday Telegraph reports.

Everton have joined the race to sign Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha in a £60m deal, the Sun on Sunday declare.

The Sun on Sunday also say David Moyes was shocked to be snubbed by West Ham because he was offered a contract to stay on as manager weeks earlier.

A source is quoted by the newspaper as saying: “Everything pointed to David staying. They came to him but he chose to wait.”
