What the papers say

West Ham believe they are still in the box seat to sign Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher despite a rejected £40million bid, the Evening Standard reports. Tottenham are also interested in the 23-year-old.

The Mirror says the Bayern Munich’s chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director Marco Neppe have not joined the club on their trip to Japan to stay behind to work on another bid for Harry Kane. Tottenham want £100m for the England captain.

Liverpool have had their bid for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia rejected with the £35m offer deemed not enough, according to the Guardian. Southampton are hoping for a bid closer to £50million.
