Paper Round’s view: We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. No one plays hardball like Leicester in the transfer market. They wanted £80m for Maguire and eventually got it, they wanted £45m for Ben Chilwell and got it, they wanted £60m for Riyad Mahrez and they got it. With that all in mind, don’t expect to see Fofana go for anything less than £85m, which would be quite the coup.

Chelsea wait on Auba prospects
Paper Round’s view: It appears to be a case of Aubameyang or Memphis Depay leaving Barca, and you would have to guess it’s the latter who moves on – if either do. Either way, whoever remains is playing second fiddle to Robert Lewandowski, so who knows, maybe they’ll both want out.

Dortmund eye Hudson-Odoi
Paper Round’s view: Still only 21, which means it is easy to forget that he burst onto the scene at such a young age. As the story states, he knows this next decision is a big one for his career, and no doubt Dortmund will be a tempting option.

Liverpool consider Inter swap deal
Paper Round’s view: The contract extension makes this a non-starter unless Liverpool are willing to spend a sizeable amount, although their offer to send Firmino or Keita the other way outlines their way around it. Still, though, if they are looking to strengthen their squad, a straight swap is not exactly ideal, and they may be better off offering an up-front fee – if they are able to.
