What the papers say

Joe Hart’s time at Manchester City looks to be coming to a permanent end. The Mail reports the goalkeeper, who spent last season on loan at West Ham, is looking for a move away from the Etihad Stadium. The 31-year-old has spent 12 years with the club, but has not started a Premier League game under boss Pep Guardiola.

Chelsea winger Kenedy appears ready join Newcastle on a season-long loan, according to the Mail. The paper reports that the Magpies have won the battle for the 22-year-old’s signature after he impressed Rafael Benitez – and fans – during the last four months of the season at St James’ Park.

Antonio Conte’s long-speculated departure from Chelsea may not be happening after all. The Daily Mirror reports on a picture posted on the Italian’s brother’s Instagram which shows the boss at Cobham with the Blues’ coaching staff. It had been rumoured Maurizio Sarri could take over at Stamford Bridge during the summer.

Riyad Mahrez looks to be just 48 hours away from pulling on a Manchester City shirt, the Mail says. According to the paper, City have agreed a £60million deal for the Leicester winger – with a medical set to take place in the next couple of days.
