Paper round-up: Sunday Mirror say City would block moves for Arteta and Vieira

Manchester City will block any attempt by Arsenal to install Patrick Vieira or Mikel Arteta as manager, the Sunday Mirror claim.

Both former Gunners midfielders have been touted as possible replacements for Arsene Wenger, who is standing down at the end of the season.

Arteta coaches at City, whose owners also control New York City, where Vieira is currently manager and has reportedly been earmarked as an eventual successor to Pep Guardiola as City boss.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Times say Arsenal have cooled their interest in former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, who has also been linked with the manager’s job at the Emirates Stadium.

Tottenham are ready to spend more than £100m on Lazio duo Sergey Milinkovic-Savic and Ciro Immobile, the Sunday Mirror claim.

Serbia midfielder Milinkovic-Savic, 23, and 28-year-old Italy striker Immobile are said to have been monitored by Spurs in recent weeks.

The Sunday Mirror reckon this means Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld, Mousa Dembele, Victor Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko are on the way out of Spurs.

The Sun on Sunday say Chelsea plan to make an offer for Alderweireld and that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has lined up Ajax teenager Matthijs de Ligt as a potential replacement for the Belgian.

The Sun on Sunday also reckon Chelsea could groundshare with West Ham while Stamford Bridge is being redeveloped.
