What the papers say

Arsenal have emerged alongside Inter Milan as the front-runners to secure his services, with the Gunners' Matteo Guendouzi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang possible swap bait.

Mikel Arteta is also interested in Brazilian defender Thiago Silva, according to Le10 Sport.

The Arsenal boss is said to be hoping his defender David Luiz can convince his countryman to join him at the club when he exits Paris St Germain this summer. Silva, 35, has had eight years in Paris and will leave on a free transfer.

Tottenham defender Serge Aurier could be on his way to Monaco, Sky Sports reports.

The 27-year-old is keen on joining the Ligue 1 club, despite finding a new lease of life at Spurs since Jose Mourinho took over. The Ivorian has two years remaining on his contract.

Goalkeeper Fraser Forster looks set to stay at Southampton next year in a heavy blow for Celtic, The Sun reports.

The 32-year-old was sent to Scotland on loan last year and Neil Lennon has been eager to extend his stay by another season.

However, Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl wants Forster to stay to challenge Alex McCarthy for the top goalkeeping spot at St Mary
