What the papers say
Manchester City are ready to pay £127m for Harry Kane, according to The Guardian. The paper says City bosses are waiting for an indication from Tottenham that a deal could be done, but the fee is less than the £150m which is believed to be the amount that could bring chairman Daniel Levy to the table.
The Liverpool Echo reports Philippe Coutinho could be set for a return to Anfield. The midfielder has floundered since joining Barcelona in 2018, with the club desperate to offload his contract to aid their financial struggles. Recent speculation has linked the 29-year-old with a bargain-price move to Liverpool where he first rose to prominence, though a number of other Premier League clubs are believed to be interested in a transfer.
