What the papers say
Emi Buendia has caught the eye of Arsenal and Aston Villa, with the Premier League rivals set to enter a tug-of-war for the Norwich player, the Daily Mail says. The Canaries will struggle to hold on to the Argentine, who is rated at £40million.
Managerless Tottenham will appoint former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, says the Daily Mail. The Italian was most recently in charge at Inter Milan, while Spurs have been without a permanent appointee since Jose Mourinho left.
Wilfried Zaha has told Crystal Palace he wants to leave Selhurst Park, the Daily Mail says. The forward told the Eagles he wanted out ahead of last season, and the club may look to cash in with Arsenal and Everton said to be interested.
It's been an eventful four years and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you Roy for everything that you have done. Your wisdom has helped me understand a lot about who I am as a man and a footballer. Thanks for everything and all the best for the future, gaffer. pic.twitter.com/avKILNT8fA — Wilfried Zaha (@wilfriedzaha) May 18, 2021
Arsenal could be changing up their attack heading into next season, with the Daily Mirror reporting Alexandre Lacazette could be leaving the Emirates and Moussa Dembele coming in from Lyon, with Mikel Arteta’s side expecting the Frenchman to cost around £25million.
Liverpool have been linked with Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham in the Daily Express. Bellingham, 17, signed with the Bundesliga side after impressing at Birmingham and could be heading back to England for at least £50m, the paper says.
