Spurs move in on Tel
Tottenham have agreed a £50 million deal with Bayern Munich for their forward Mathys Tel, according to a report in The Sun.
However, Spurs are facing competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea for the teenager's signature.
"Tottenham have reportedly agreed a £50 million fee for Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel," notes the outlet.
"Spurs had originally been tracking the 19-year-old striker for a potential loan deal this January.
"But reports in France suggest the Premier League club have agreed a fee with the Bundesliga giants.
"Tel must now make a decision on whether to swap Munich for north London, according to L'Equipe.
"But Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are all reportedly interested in bringing him to England."
Brighton braced for £90m offer for Mitoma
Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr will reportedly submit a £90m offer for Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma.
The Express runs the story, claiming Al Nassr have already had a £54m bid rejected by The Seagulls.
"Brighton are set to receive a stunning £90 million transfer offer for winger Kaoru Mitoma, according to reports," reads the article.
"Al Nassr are intent on signing the Japanese international and have already seen a £54m bid turned down by The Seagulls. Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler is thought to be against selling Mitoma, who has scored five goals and laid on three assists in the Premier League this season.
"But the club's resolve could soon be put to the ultimate test, as CBS Sports claim that a final, take-it-or-leave-it offer worth up to £90m is being prepared by the Saudi Pro League side.
"If Brighton decide to take the money and run, and the figures prove to be accurate, it would go down as one of the most lucrative Premier League deals of all time."
Chelsea to make late move for Garnacho
Chelsea could wait until deadline day to make an official offer for Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho.
The Blues have been strongly linked with a move for the 20-year-old, who is also wanted by Napoli.
But they are prepared to be patient in their pursuit of the forward and may leave it until Monday to make their move.
"Chelsea are ready to go right to the wire in their plans to land Alejandro Garnacho," writes The Sun.
"The Manchester United winger is wanted by The Blues and Italians Napoli as time ticks away on the January transfer window.
"Napoli are reluctant to improve on their £42 million valuation and Chelsea are waiting in the wings to make a formal offer.
"They are still monitoring the changing situation with Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel, who could now leave the German giants having only recently pledged his loyalty.
"Chelsea are prepared to leave it late in order to get the best deals possible. The transfer window closes at 11pm on Monday.
"Garnacho, 20, is available amid a mini Old Trafford reshuffle by boss Ruben Amorim."
