Eriksen, Hazard and De Gea are being talked about on Thursday.

What the papers say

Real Madrid are keen on signing Tottenham and Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen but the Champions League finalists will be looking for bids north of £130million, according to the Daily Mirror. Eriksen only has a year left on his contract but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is holding out for a big fee.

Eden Hazard‘s move to Real Madrid has moved a step closer, reports the Daily Mail. The paper says the Spanish giants and Chelsea have agreed a transfer fee of £88.5million for the Belgium international.

Manchester United’s first summer signing is likely to be Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who is currently representing Portugal at the Nations League finals, according to the Daily Star.

West Ham are still keen on signing Andre Gomes from Barcelona but if Everton pip the Hammers to the Portugal midfielder, they will turn their attention to Newcastle’s Isaac Hayden, reports the Daily Mirror.
