Tottenham have been linked with West Ham star Manuel Lanzini.

The Daily Mirror say Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is a fan of the 24-year-old playmaker and is monitoring him ahead of a possible move.

Lanzini is under contract with the Hammers until 2020. He has also recently been linked with Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are interested in Manchester City’s 16-year old striker Bobby Duncan, again according to Mirror.

Duncan is the cousin of former Liverpool and England midfielder Steven Gerrard and it is claimed that a number of Premier League clubs are keen on him.

The Mirror say those clubs include Arsenal, who apparently watched him in action for England Under-17s this week – he scored the winner against Portugal.

The Sun have picked up on reports linking Juventus with Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin.

It is claimed that Juve have made contact with the Spaniard’s representatives to see if he would be interested in a move to the Turin club.

And the Mirror have picked up on Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata telling a Spanish radio station that he would like to return to his former club Real Madrid in the future.

“Of course I would return to Real Madrid, but it’s complicated,” Morata reportedly said.

“I’ve never said a bad word of Madrid nor will I say it. Always I wish them the best. I’m a fan of Madrid but a Chelsea player.”
