What the papers say

Wolves are looking odds-on to keep hold of Adama Traore, reports the Sun. The 24-year-old has played a starring role for the Molineux outfit since joining in 2018 with Liverpool and Barcelona said to be keen on the Spanish forward, but the paper reports Traore will sign a new deal worth £100,000-a-week.

Manchester United have not given up hope of signing Jadon Sancho, according to the Daily Star. Rumours about the 20-year-old’s future were rife during the summer transfer window, and the Premier League side believe they can land the Borussia Dortmund winger in the winter.

Another player to have caught the eye of Manchester United is Federico Valverde who is currently on the books of Real Madrid, the Sun says. The midfielder, 22, has recently broken into the first team at the Bernabeu.
