Everton reportedly want Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha and Danny Welbeck of Arsenal.
The Daily Mirror say new Everton boss Marco Silva is keen on both players as he looks to revamp the squad at Goodison Park.
Palace are determined to keep winger Zaha, who has been linked with several other clubs.
There are doubts over the future of England forward Welbeck, who faces a struggle for a first-team place at Arsenal and has been tipped to move on.
Meanwhile, Manchester United continue to be linked with Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld.
Negotiations between the two clubs reportedly stalled earlier this month, with Spurs’ asking price apparently too high.
But The Independent say United still believe there is a deal to be done and that Alderweireld could yet end up at Old Trafford.
Real Madrid are closing in on the signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, the Daily Mail reports.
The story is based on Spanish newspaper Marca reporting on Wednesday that talks are at an advanced stage and that Courtois is set to move for a fee in the region of £31m.
And Metro have come up with a story based on Spanish radio station Onda Cero claiming that Barcelona could offer Ousmane Dembele to Chelsea as part of a deal to sign Eden Hazard.
