Eurosport Paper Round: Arsenal move for Sturridge, Giggs to quit United if Mourinho gets top job
The Mirror are reporting that Arsenal will move for Daniel
Sturridge in the summer, a move that is likely to set them back £30
million. The report says Arsene Wenger is finally ready to make changes
to his
line-up, including purchasing Sturridge to fill the gap of a top
class striker at the club. As Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott and Oliver Giroud never really settled in the front man position this season, it's reportedly Wenger's priority to buy a noted goalscoring..
Also in the Mirror, Manchester United
assistant manager Ryan Giggs will reportedly quit the club if Jose
Mourinho ascends to the top job in the summer. The report says Giggs has
been warned by fellow Class of 92 members to quit Old Trafford if
Mourinho takes over to find a senior management role elsewhere. Giggs
reportedly has had no guarantee from executive vice chairman Ed Woodward
he'll have an assistant job at the club once Van Gaal leaves the club.
Claudio Ranieri is planning to make a double swoop for Watford's Troy Deeney and Crystal Palace's
Yannick Bolasie, according to the Sun. The report says both Deeney and
Bolasie are valued on the open market at around £20 million, with
Leicester potentially facing some competition from Arsenal, as they were
interested in the Watford striker Deeney earlier in the season. Ranieri
is looking to not only bolster his squad for the club's Premier League
title defence, but is planning to make it bigger for Champions League
duties.

Chelsea could be making a play for Southampton's
Graziano Pelle, according to the Sun. The report says Antonio Conte is a
fan of Pelle, due to the period in which they worked together for the
Italian national team. The Blues will consider offering Southampton a
fee of £8 million, as Pelle was dropped from the line-up against Manchester City
last weekend and is set for talks with the South Coast club in the
summer over his future. Pelle has one year left on his contract and the
Saints will be making a decision to either make some money off a
transfer or keep the striker.
