The Daily Express say David Moyes is in line for a new contract at West Ham and is already targeting players for next season.

The Hammers are reported to be ready to offer Moyes a two-year deal to stay on as manager if he keeps the club in the Premier League.

Moyes is said to be keen on Metz’s Luxembourg midfielder Vincent Thill and FC Twente goalkeeper Joel Drommel.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are among Premier League clubs interested in Stefan de Vrij, the Daily Mirror say.

Lazio’s Dutch centre-back has been linked with a move to England during successive transfer windows, with Chelsea also among the clubs supposedly interested.

The Mirror say Arsenal have been keeping tabs on the Netherlands international, whose contract expires this summer, but that he would prefer a move to Manchester United.

The Mirror also say Arsenal sent a scout to watch Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but the Turkey international did not play.

The Express reports that Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure says he would prefer to join Arsenal rather than Tottenham if given the opportunity.

It comes after both north London clubs were linked with Doucoure and French media quoted him as saying: “It’s true the clubs are interested.

“Arsenal would be my choice out of the two because of Arsene Wenger.”

And the Daily Mail say Chelsea want Borussia Dortmund’s 19-year-old United States winger Christian Pulisic but face fierce competition from Bayern Munich.
