The list of candidates to replace STEVE McCLAREN at St James' Park includes DAVID MOYES, RAFAEL BENITEZ, BRENDAN RODGERS and NIGEL PEARSON, according to the Guardian.

The Sun claims Pep Guardiola is eyeing defensive reinforcements at Manchester City this summer and will spend £80million to buy Everton centre-back JOHN STONES and AYMERIC LAPORTE from Athletic Bilbao.

Leicester are hoping an £18million bid will see them pip Manchester United to the signing of CSKA Moscow striker AHMED MUSA, reports the Daily Star.

The Daily Mail states Paris St Germain striker EDINSON CAVANI could be Chelsea bound if Antonio Conte takes over in the summer.

Leicester winger RIYAD MAHREZ'S superb form has seen him rocket to the top of Barcelona's wishlist, according to the Sun.
