Premier League clubs are growing frustrated at Tottenham’s prolonged stay at Wembley, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Spurs are continuing to play at the national stadium because of delays over the completion of the club’s new ground.

The Telegraph say other clubs are unhappy about uncertainties this has caused and feel more could have been done to avoid the situation.

Meanwhile, the Daily Star have picked up on reports in Italy that Arsenal are interested in Juventus defender Medhi Benatia.

The Morocco international is said to be unhappy at Juve, where he has not been a first-team regular this season.

Arsenal are said to have made contact over a potential deal to sign him in January. He would apparently cost around £13m.

Scott Parker could be installed as Fulham manager if the club sack Slavisa Jokanovic, according to reports.

Jokanovic is under pressure, with the Whites bottom of the Premier League following Monday’s defeat against fellow strugglers Huddersfield.

Parker, whose playing career included spells at Fulham, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham and Charlton, returned to Craven Cottage during the summer to join the coaching staff.

The Telegraph and Daily Mail both suggest Parker could be handed the top job if Jokanovic is fired.

And the Daily Star say Chelsea could make a move for France playmaker Nabil Fekir amid reports he wants to leave Lyon.
