Ozil was linked with United prior to signing a new contract at the Emirates Stadium earlier this year and is again being touted for a possible move to Old Trafford amid more speculation over the German’s future.

Italian clubs are also said to be eyeing Mitrovic after his excellent start to the Premier League season.

The Sun on Sunday say Chelsea are set to open talks over a new two-year contract for David Luiz, whose current deal expires next summer.

The Sunday Express claim Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri wants to sign Italy international winger Federico Chiesa from Fiorentina.

And the Sunday People say Bournemouth are plotting a £15m raid for Brentford duo Chris Mepham and Ollie Watkins.

The Sunday People also say Andros Townsend is in line for a new contract at Crystal Palace, bringing him into line with the club’s top earners.
