Football rumours: Premier League clubs circling Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka

What the papers say

Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka is reportedly high on the radar of multiple Premier League clubs after being replaced in the first XI by Joao Palhinha. According to The Sun, Manchester United and West Ham are keeping close tabs on the 29-year-old, who is said to be unhappy after being axed by new boss Vincent Kompany.

The paper says the club also have intentions on pursuing Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, and either Arsenal defender William Saliba or Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero.
