Paper round-up: Barcelona linked with Tottenham youngster

Barcelona want Tottenham youngster Reo Griffiths, the Daily Star claim.

The teenage striker has been linked with other clubs since recently scoring four goals in a 9-0 win for Spurs’ Under-18 side against Arsenal.

And the Star claim Barca are looking to snap up Griffiths, who has scored 34 goals this season.

It comes as Spurs are being tipped to snap up Barcelona youngster Ricard ‘Rique’ Piug.

Willian is desperate to stay at Chelsea but his future depends on whether the club sack Antonio Conte, according to The Sun.

It follows reports that Manchester United are interested in the Brazilian, whose relationship with Conte is said to have deteriorated.

Chelsea are widely tipped to replace Conte as manager this summer.

The Sun say Willian, along with the likes of Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and David Luiz, is waiting to see if Conte leaves before committing his future to the club.

A ‘Chelsea insider’ is quoted as saying: “Willian loves Chelsea. The club means so much to him.

“It’s not even that he loves life in London. It’s Chelsea.

“He was on his way to Tottenham and did a U-turn to sign for Chelsea after all.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea continue to be linked with Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

The Daily Telegraph say the Poland international is Chelsea’s number one transfer target this summer.
