Mikel Arteta is reportedly set to become the Premier League's best-paid manager, with his new Arsenal contract said to be worth £20million a year, according to Sky Sports' paper round-up.
Elsewhere, Liverpool are understood to be considering yet another big-money addition to an already star-studded forward line, continuing their heavy summer and winter spending in the market.
On the international front, Thomas Tuchel insists England's momentum hasn't been disrupted by Cole Palmer's absence, saying the "train is rolling" after a strong Nations League camp without the Chelsea playmaker.
Also featuring in the gossip pages, Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna has reportedly landed recognition from UEFA, with further details expected to emerge as the story develops.
As ever with transfer paper talk, these items remain speculative and sourced from media reports rather than confirmed club statements, so fans should treat the specifics — particularly Arteta's exact salary figure and Liverpool's transfer target — with some caution until official word arrives.
