What the papers say
Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld is on a shortlist to possibly replace Jerome Boateng at Bayern Munich, according to the Mirror. The German giants are thought to be considering possible moves should interest in Boateng from Paris St Germain create space for a new centre-back at the Allianz Arena.
Arsenal’s Krystian Bielik is near to making a loan move to League One’s Charlton, the Mirror says. The 20-year-old has been hit by injury during his time with the Gunners but it is thought he could make more of an impact as a defensive midfielder at The Valley.

Players to watch
Ben Brereton: Nottingham Forest’s striker is wanted by Blackburn Rovers, who have made a £6million offer, according to The Sun. Tony Mowbray is hoping to tempt the 19-year-old after he was left out of Forest’s starting XI at the beginning of this season, but Rovers are thought to want at least £12million for the England under-21 playmaker, the paper says.
