Liverpool move for Nabil Bentaleb as Tottenham eye young Marseille striker Anthony Martial and Swansea join the Loic Remy race, say the papers.
LIVERPOOL TARGET BENTALEB
Liverpool have opened talks over signing Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb for £10million, according to The Sun.
Spurs do not want to lose the Algerian, 20, but Brendan Rodgers is apparently 'desperate' for him to form a new-look midfield partnership with James Milner. The Reds boss has been cleared to spend after surviving a review which led to the departures of coaches Colin Pascoe Mike Marsh.
Bentaleb admitted last week he was frustrated by his lengthy contract talks at White Hart Lane.
"I give everything on the pitch. I've been working really hard and it's normal for me to want to get rewarded. We've been negotiating for nearly nine months now, since September, and it's getting really long and, of course, I'm getting a little bit tired of it.
"Sometimes it is annoying when you don't feel treated as you should be. This season was a really good season for me and I've had some interest from big clubs, from Champions League clubs. I'm really flattered."
SPURS IN TALKS OVER MONACO TEEN
Tottenham, meanwhile, are in negotiations over the potential signing of 19-year-old Marseille striker Anthony Martial, according to The Telegraph.
The French club are said to want 25million euros to sell a player they bought from Lyon two years ago, but the teenager's impressive performances in the Champions League this season have attracted the interest of Mauricio Pochettino, who will place on emphasis on youth during his rebuilding of his squad at White Hart Lane.
Harry Kane, Ryan Mason and the aforementioned Bentaleb are the three players the Spurs boss apparently wants to build around, while buyers will be sought for Emmanuel Adebayor and possibly Roberto Soldado, who are both in the final year of their contracts.
SWANSEA JOIN REMY CHASE
Swansea have joined Crystal Palace and Southampton in expressing an interest in signing Chelsea striker Loic Remy, according to the Daily Mirror.
Remy started only six Premier League games during his first season at Stamford Bridge and would like to play more - and the 28-year-old's £80,000-a-week has apparently not deterred his suitors.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has ruled out allowing any first-team players to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, but Monaco striker Radamel Falcao is just one of five forwards on his shortlist, according to the Daily Mail.
