What the papers say
The coronavirus pandemic could end up being a help to Manchester United’s pursuit of Jadon Sancho. The Daily Star, citing a report from Dutch outlet Sport 1, says the financial strain placed on Borussia Dortmund from the pandemic could see the club willing to part with the 20-year-old forward for less than his £105.6m valuation.
According to The Sun, Tottenham are eyeing a free transfer for Napoli defender Nikola Maksimovic. The 29-year-old is out of contract this summer, with Spurs manager Jose Mourinho eager to bolster his side’s defensive capabilities.
West Brom have reportedly agreed to a loan deal for Galatasaray striker Mbaye Diagne. The Express & Star says the 29-year-old is now expected to fly to England for a medical and could even make his debut in Saturday’s crucial clash with Fulham.
