TOP STORY: Zaha set for £80m switch to Arsenal?

It's no secret that Arsenal want a winger this summer, and Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha is keen for that winger to be him, according to the Mirror.

Zaha, 26, joined Manchester United in 2013 but that didn't work out and he returned to Palace two years later. Now, having proved himself to be a top Premier League player, the Ivory Coast winger wants another move -- to boyhood club Arsenal.

The Gunners only have a budget of around £45m but are reportedly ready to sell one of their best players, such as Golden Boot winner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, in order to fund a move for Zaha.

With right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka having joined United (see below), Palace could find themselves with a load of cash to spend soon.

11.48 BST: Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic has been the subject of a €35m bid from Manchester United, SPORT says.

"We fully expected the Under-20 World Cup would be a shop window for a number of our players and we had planned that Sarpreet could have been one of those to receive an offer. We always thought it could play out like this, though we were a little bit surprised obviously that it is Bayern that have come in for him."

PAPER TALK (by Richard Edwards): Inter ready to sell to bring in Lukaku

Inter Milan are ready to sell two stars in order to bring in Romelu Lukaku, according to the Sun.

It reports that Antonio Conte has stepped up his interest in the Manchester United striker and is willing to flog Joao Mario and Dalbert for a combined £40m in order to meet the asking price of £75m.

Mario appears to be en route to Monaco, who are ready to splash out £22m for his services.

Dalbert, meanwhile, is attracting the attention of both Monaco and Lyon, who are prepared to shell out £18m for the Brazilian.

Latest Bayern bid batted back by Chelsea

You can't fault Bayern Munich for a lack of effort when it comes to Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The Bundesliga side are head-over-heels in love with the Chelsea youngster, despite him being out with a long-term injury, and the Guardian reports that they have submitted another bid.

However, it says they have again been rebuffed by Chelsea, who can ill afford to say farewell to one of their brightest young stars as a transfer ban looms.

Bayern first entered the race for his signature in January, putting in an initial offer of £35m, and with Hudson-Odoi's deal at Stamford Bridge set to expire in under 12 months, Chelsea know they have to work quickly to persuade him that his future lies in London.

Chelsea threaten Morata recall

Chelsea are playing hardball with Atletico Madrid over Alvaro Morata's loan, the Telegraph says, reporting that the Blues are demanding that Atleti make Morata's loan permanent or they will take him back to London.

Morata joined Atletico on an 18-month loan in January, but Chelsea have the option of bringing him back if the Spaniards don't make his move permanent.

Now, with a two-year transfer ban looming, they're prepared to exercise that right - and given that Atleti are about to spend £112.9m on Joao Felix that might be enough to persuade them to hand Morata a ticket back to London.

Tap-ins

That's according to Marca, which reports that the left-back -- who spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad -- will undergo a medical at the San Siro on Monday.

- Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that Daniel Levy holds the key to Spurs' transfer activity. The Mail reports comments from the Spurs boss that it's Levy who will have the final say on how much the club does or doesn't spend.
