Kylian Mbappe makes the back pages again on Friday as The Mirror reports Ligue 1 runners up Paris Saint-Germain have made a world record bid of £119mi to beat Arsenal to sign the 18-year-old.

Sanchez and Ozil deals could force summer sell-out

The Independent reports that Arsenal’s attempts to keep hold of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez could have huge impacts on the club’s squad, thanks to the Premier League’s wage restriction rules which come into force this summer. According to the newspaper, salary increases of the scale that would be expected to keep hold of the pair – reportedly to £280,000 per week, each - would force the club to sell a number of other players such as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Olivier Giroud and Jack Wilshere as well as many more.

Sanchez remains a City target

Meanwhile The Mirror reports that Sanchez remains a high priority for Manchester City, this summer, and that Pep Guardiola's side will launch a renewed bid for the Chile international off the back of his performance in the Confederations Cup. The newspaper reports that City would be prepared to part with £50m to bring Sanchez to the Etihad, despite Arsenal's protests that the 28-year-old, who scored 30 goals for them last season, is not for sale.
