What the papers say
Arsenal have their sights on Boca Juniors winger Cristian Pavon, the Mail reports. Changes at the Emirates appear aloft following the appointment of Raul Sanllehi as head of football, with the new recruit reportedly interested in signing Pavon, who featured for Argentina at the World Cup this summer.
Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech is hopeful of extending his time at the Emirates, the Evening Standard reports. The 36-year-old is in the last year of his contract and is keen to stave off competition from 26-year-old Bernd Leno, who joined the Gunners in the summer.

Players to watch
Jack Grealish: The 23-year-old is being tipped for an international call-up, the Birmingham Mail reports. It comes after England assistant Steve Holland watched the midfielder during Aston Villa’s 2-0 win against Rotherham, with Grealish impressing in a newer role on the left rather than his usual central position.
Conor Coady: Gareth Southgate has also had a watchful eye on the Wolves captain, the Mirror says. The 25-year-old defender is said to have attracted interest from the England boss following an impressive start to life in the Premier League.
