Sergio Ramos being targeted by Manchester United
Man Utd will use Sergio Ramos as leverage in any deal with Real Madrid for David De Gea, Ashley Cole could return to England and Spurs are clearing the decks...
UNITED WANT RAMOS
The papers are full of stories of Spain international Sergio Ramos heading to Manchester United.
It was a link which emerged in the Sunday papers last weekend and it's a story the tabloids and broadsheets are going big on again with the general gist that United are using Ramos, 29, as leverage in Real Madrid's pursuit of David De Dea.
The Independent says Real want £46.5m for Ramos and would 'probably expect a fee as well as De Gea in exchange'.
Louis van Gaal is on the look-out for a central defender and Ramos, who is apparently upset at Real allowing his contract to meander into its final two years, would bring a wealth of experience.
Whether the central defender is keen on a move to the Premier League or whether he's trying to get himself a bumper new deal at the Bernabeu is the burning question. We suspect the latter.
TOON TO RESCUE COLE FROM 'HELL'
The Daily Star says Newcastle could make a move for Ashley Cole and rescue the full-back from his Roma 'hell'.
The 34-year-old played 16 times for the Rome club last season and could be facing even less game time next season with Vasilis Torosidis and Jose Holebas in front of him in the pecking order
The red top says Cole's had a 'torrid time' with the Serie A side and Steve McClaren could make a move for the former England man, who has one year left on his contract.
CLEAR THE DECKS
Tottenham are planning a huge summer clear-out with up to ten players possibly leaving, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Aaron Lennon, Paulinho, Younes Kaboul, Etienne Capoue and Benjamin Stambouli are all for sale at White Hart Lane with boss Mauricio Pochettino seemingly planning a revolution.
Spurs have rejected offers for Roberto Soldado and Vlad Chiriches but will sell both of them if their valuations are met, while Lewis Holtby and Emmanuel Adebayor are also surplus to requirements.
The tea lady is safe though...
