Paper round-up: Tottenham considering move for Magpies forward

Tottenham are considering a move for Notts County’s teenage forward Kion Etete, the Daily Mail reports.

The 17-year-old, who recently signed a new contract with the Magpies, recently spent a week on trial with Spurs and scored in an Under-18s game.

The Mail say Etete impressed and that Spurs could sign him at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, The Times reports that Tottenham might have to return to Wembley to play a home Champions League quarter-final next month even if their new stadium is ready, because UEFA are reluctant to sanction a new venue.

The Times also say the proposed raising of the iconic walkway at Wembley has been delayed by Tottenham’s extended stay at the stadium.

The Sun say 14 German clubs have travelled to England to watch Arsenal youngster Xavier Amaechi in an Under-23 game against Swansea.

Maurizio Sarri’s future remains in serious doubt, with the Chelsea hierarchy still unconvinced he is the right man for the job, the Mail say.

The pressure has been eased on the head coach by Premier League wins against Tottenham and Fulham

The Mail say those results saved him from the sack but that his position remains under scrutiny and the club have identified possible replacements for the Italian.

The Mail say Chelsea would prefer to make a final decision on Sarri’s future at the end of the season.

Chelsea’s former assistant first-team coach Steve Holland, now England boss Gareth Southgate’s assistant, is said to be an option to take interim charge at Stamford Bridge if Sarri is axed before then.
