What the papers say
Raheem Sterling wants to leave Manchester City in the upcoming January transfer window, according to the Manchester Evening News. The paper, citing a report from Mundo Deportivo, says the 26-year-old midfielder is frustrated with his lack of playing opportunities at the Etihad Stadium this season and is keen to ply his trade elsewhere, with Barcelona believed to be hopeful of a potential loan move.
The Daily Telegraph reports Rangers boss Steven Gerrard headlines a wishlist of potential replacements for recently-sacked Aston Villa manager Steve Smith. The paper says Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl and Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand also feature on the list of ideal candidates.
The Daily Express reports Arsenal’s prospective move for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic could be facing a roadblock, with journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claiming the 21-year-old is less than thrilled with the idea of a transfer.
