Football rumours: Newcastle set sights on Leicester playmaker James Maddison

What the papers say

Newcastle have reportedly made James Maddison a priority target this summer.

The i says the 26-year-old Leicester midfielder is believed to be desiring Champions League football, and with Newcastle having a chance of qualifying for the elite competition, the stars could align perfectly for both parties.

Manchester United are currently considering whether to make a formal offer for Jude Bellingham. According to The Telegraph, the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder is expected to command a minimum fee of £110million (€125 million), which would be a record for an English player.

The Sun, citing Sky Germany, says Chelsea are planning to turn down a permanent swoop for Denis Zakaria.

The Swiss midfielder joined the club on a season-long loan from Juventus last September, but Chelsea bosses are believed to be leaning towards replacing the 26-year-old rather than making the switch permanent.
