Bayern Munich sound out Alexis Sanchez, Mats Hummels snubs Premier League clubs and Arsenal attempt a raid on a Chelsea starlet. It's Wednesday's Paper Round.
The
Mirror are reporting that German powerhouse Bayern Munich are after the
signature of Alexis Sanchez. The report says that Bayern have been
making enquiries about whether Arsenal
and Arsene Wenger would be prepared to sell their star forward, and
that Bayern are seeking to take advantage of the fact Sanchez has been
in poor form recently. The interest comes as Arsenal seek to tie Sanchez
down to a new contract, since it's been two years since he came to
London for a transfer fee of £33 million.
Paper Round's view: The
ball is comfortably in Arsenal's court regarding this issue. There is
no way on God's green earth Arsene Wenger allows his prized asset to
just up and leave because of some poor form and fitness issues. Bayern
will probably have to look elsewhere.Dortmund ace Mats Hummels set to snub Man United for Bayern Munich
The Sun are reporting Borussia Dortmund's defensive rock Mats Hummels is finalising a £23.5m move to Bayern Munich, at the expense of Manchester United who have been monitoring him for some time. The report says Hummels will likely return to his old club in the summer, after eight years at title rivals Dortmund. Both United and Manchester City were keen on sounding out for a move Hummels, but now appear to be beaten to the punch.Paper Round's view: That's a fairly big blow to a few Premier League clubs that have been eying Hummels for a while. He's an incredible player, equally physical at the contest and skilled on the ball. Sometimes even the prestige of the Premier League and the riches that come along with it, isn't enough to get a player over the line.
