WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

England goalkeeper JOE HART is wanted by West Ham, reports the Telegraph, although the Hammers are keen on a loan deal, while Manchester City would rather Hart left on a permanent basis. The paper adds that Newcastle have been put off by a £20million price tag and the 30-year-old's wages, and have also missed out on JOSE REINA after he decided to sign a new Napoli deal.

Staying with West Ham, the Evening Standard claims that the Hammers will return to Stoke with an improved offer for wantaway forward MARKO ARNAUTOVIC. The 28-year-old has submitted a transfer request after an initial offer was turned down.

Marseille are keen on Tottenham's MOUSSA SISSOKO, reports the Evening Standard. The Frenchman is apparently keen to leave Spurs after struggling for game time since arriving from Newcastle.

Everton and Crystal Palace are set to fight it out for the signing of Ajax defender JAIRO RIEDEWALD, says the Liverpool Echo. The Holland international was reportedly on his way to Selhurst Park when the Toffees made an 11th-hour bid.
