What the papers say
The Evening Standard says Arsenal are looking to bring veteran goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny back to the club as they prepare for the departure of Aaron Ramsdale, who lost his spot to David Raya this season. Szczesny was an Arsenal academy product and played more than 100 games for the club before moving to Juventus.
Manchester United are interested in Atletico Madrid’s left-back Reinildo, who has one year left on his contract at the Spanish club, according to the Sun. The club will face competition in Aston Villa for the 30-year-old.
The Sun also reports West Ham’s potential new coach Julen Lopetegui has his eyes on Sevilla duo striker Youssef En-Nesyri and defender Marcos Acuna if he replaces David Moyes as club boss.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
