TOP STORY: Spurs, Chelsea lead chase for Ramsdale
Premier League duo Chelsea and Tottenham are keeping track of 21-year-old Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, according to the Daily Mail.

Chelsea, meanwhile, remain unsure over the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has looked uncertain between the sticks following the arrival of manager Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge last summer.

But if one day, he comes to us and says that he wants to leave the club, then we will discuss it. But that is not our primary option. The primary option is to keep him for as long as possible."
PAPER TALK (by James Capps)
Atletico join Tonali tug of war
Atletico Madrid have emerged as surprise contenders for the signature of highly rated Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali, Calciomercato reports.
Atleti boss Diego Simeone is said to be a huge admirer of the 19-year-old, who has earned rave reviews for his performances in the heart of midfield since Brescia returned to Serie A this season.
Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan were initially reported to be the only two clubs with a significant chance of landing the Italy international, who has had a €55m price tag slapped on him by Brescia owner Massimo Cellino.
Clubs in the Bundesliga and the Premier League have also been credited with an interest in the teenager, who has made 23 appearances for Brescia this season, scoring once and assisting a further five goals.
Juventus fancy Ferran Torres
Calciomercato writes that Juventus are considering a move for Valencia winger Ferran Torres.
The 20-year-old impressed Juve scouts during Los Che's Champions League campaign, in which the youngster had a hand in four goals in six appearances, as well as scoring four times in La Liga this season.
The Serie A leaders have been on the lookout for a new winger since the start of the campaign, and had looked set to seal a deal for Fiorentina's Federico Chiesa in the close season, but with negotiations stalling between the two clubs, Maurizio Sarri's side are now seriously considering switching targets.
Despite having a huge €100m release clause in his Valencia contract, Torres' deal expires in little more than a year's time, which could provide Juventus with significant negotiating power when the transfer window opens in the summer.
Tap-ins
- Bild reports that Schalke are keeping tabs on two Premier League goalkeepers as they prepare for the imminent departure of highly rated stopper Alexander Nubel. The Gelsenkirchen side are checking out Norwich City's Tim Krul, as well as Zack Steffen, who is on loan at Fortuna Dusseldorf from Manchester City.
- Chelsea and Tottenham are plotting moves for Ajax winger David Neres, according to Calciomercato. The 23-year-old Brazilian shone in the Dutch side's Champions League semifinal run last season, and a string of European clubs have sent scouts to watch the forward in the past 12 months.
- Calciomercato writes that Napoli are eyeing up misfiring Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic. The Serbia international has scored just twice since arriving at the Bernabeu last summer in a €60m move from Eintracht Frankfurt, and Los Blancos are looking to claw back around €45m of that fee by selling the 22-year-old to Gennaro Gattuso's side.
