Mousa Dembele is ready to run down his Tottenham contract and move to China on a free transfer next summer, The Sun reports.

Spurs have reportedly tried to offload the Belgian midfielder, who is in the final year of his contract at the club.

The Sun say Spurs will listen to offers for him but that Dembele has firm interest from Chinese Super League side Beijing Sinobo Guoan and is eyeing a move there at the end of the season.

A move there would reportedly involve a £150,000-a-week tax-free salary and a bumper signing-on fee as a free agent.

The Sun have also picked up on reports that Arsenal are lining up moves for Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz.

Meanwhile, Fulham are weighing up a January move for AC Milan defender Mateo Musacchio, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Mirror say Whites boss Slavisa Jokanovic believes he needs to bring in another central defender during the next transfer window.

Fulham have conceded 21 Premier League goals since Jokanovic led them back to the top flight and summer signings Alfie Mawson and Calum Chambers are yet to make an impression.

Musacchio was previously linked with a move to Fulham and the Mirror claim the club will go back in for him.

The Mirror have also picked up on reports in Italy suggesting that Tiemoue Bakayoko could return to Chelsea sooner than expected.

The midfielder has failed to impress since joining AC Milan on a season-long loan and it is claimed that the Serie A club could send him back.

Reports claim Bakayoko will be given the next few games to prove he is worth persisting with.
