Hazard, Tielemans and Koulibaly are all being talked about in Friday's papers.

What the papers say

Lucas Digne may be on his way out of Everton, with Tottenham looking for a deal which could see Danny Rose go in the opposite direction, the Daily Mirror says. Mauricio Pochettino was interested in the French defender when he left Barcelona, the paper adds.

Chelsea and Real Madrid have agreed a £130million fee for Eden Hazard, the Daily Mail says.

Manchester United are to enter a tug of war with Juventus for the signature of Kalidou Koulibaly, reports the Daily Mirror. The Napoli and Senegal centre-back is among the top targets of United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the paper adds.

United are also among a pack of three interested in bringing in Youri Tielemans for £40million, writes the Daily Mail. The midfielder spent last season on loan at Leicester from Monaco, with the Foxes and Tottenham also keen.

Lille winger Nicolas Pepe continues to be linked with a move to Champions League winners Liverpool, with Manchester United and Arsenal also keen on the £70m-rated man, according to the Daily Mirror.
