Paper Talk: 12/03/19

Zinedine Zidane has shocked the footballing world and taken back over at Real Madrid. Find out who he is setting as his number one target for the summer.

 

Real Madrid have approached Chelsea over a summer deal for star forward Eden Hazard (Telegraph Sport).

Zinedine Zidane was re-appointed as Real manager yesterday evening and the former France captain is Hazard's all-time idol.

Hazard has been linked with a move to Madrid for some time now, with the Belgian winger failing to commit his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United are hoping to confirm interim manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer as their permanent boss over the upcoming international break.

Mirror Sport report that United's board are set to reward the Norwegian with a new-and-improved contract following his brilliant start to life in Manchester.

Solksjaer lost his first Premier League match at the weekend - when his United side fell short at Arsenal, and they have only lost two games in all competitions with the former striker in charge.

 

England manager Gareth Southgate is considering calling up Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse (Mirror Sport).

Ward-Prowse has scored in each of the Saints' last three league matches - including an excellent free-kick at Old Trafford recently.

Overall, the 24-year-old has scored six goals for the struggling Southampton team this term.

Tottenham players are confident that manager Mauricio Pochettino will not quit the club at the end of the season (Mail Sport).

Pochettino has been linked with a move to either Man United or Real Madrid - but with Solksjaer set to be awarded the permanent role and Zidane being re-appointed, there may not be too much choice for the Spurs boss.

 

Manchester City and Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has insisted he will not be pressured into signing a new contract at the Etihad Stadium (Telegraph Sport).

Gundogan has not ruled out a possible departure from Manchester in the summer, with his contract situation far from certain.

The 28-year-old has scored five and set up two goals in 24 league appearances for the Premier League leaders this season.

 

Arsenal scouts have been sent to watch AC Milan forward Suso, with the Gunners placing the Spaniard on their shortlist (Caught Offside).

The former Liverpool winger has been in fine form for Milan this season, scoring five and providing eight assists in 25 matches this term.

Suso left Anfield in 2015 after making just 14 appearances in three years with the Reds, but has become a real star at the San Siro.
