What the papers say

Youri Tielemans could become a permanent fixture at Leicester after an impressive run with the Foxes, the Mail reports. The 21-year-old was sent out on loan to the Premie League side by Monaco and looks to have won over the fans after just seven games. Those plaudits could now extend to the Leicester hierarchy as bosses consider a £40 million bid for Belgium midfielder, the paper says.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to be prepping his team for the 2019/20 season, with Crystal Palace full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka being considered as a possible replacement for Antonio Valencia, the Mail says. Valencia is rumoured to be heading for the exit, putting 21-year-old Wan-Bissaka on the radar of Manchester United's new boss, the paper says – though rivals Manchester City are also said to be interested in the right-back.
