Ruben Amorim to have final say on Jadon Sancho future, Real Madrid prioritise Bournemouth starlet transfer - Paper Round

Jadon Sancho's future at Manchester United could be decided by manager Ruben Amorim if Chelsea decide not to sign the forward permanently. Elsewhere, Real Madrid have made Bournemouth's teenage centre-half Dean Huijsen a priority signing this summer as they look to strengthen their defence, and Arsenal could turn to former Everton striker Moise Kean to boost their attacking options.

Amorim to have final say on Sancho future

Ruben Amorim will reportedly have the final say on Jadon Sancho’s future at Manchester United.

Sancho left The Red Devils to join Chelsea on loan at the start of the season, but a report in The Mirror claims Enzo Maresca’s side may pay their Premier League rivals a fee to send the Englishman back to Old Trafford.

"Manchester United will leave it up to Ruben Amorim to decide Jadon Sancho's future should he return to Old Trafford, according to reports," reads the article.

"Sancho is facing an uncertain future after failing to impress on loan at Chelsea after some poor displays for the Blues.

"Chelsea have an obligation to sign Sancho for £25million if the Blues finish higher than 14th in the Premier League - which looks nearly impossible with the team currently fourth in the table.

"But reports have claimed Chelsea will be able to pay a large fee to release themselves from that obligation and send Sancho back to United.

"Should that happen, Amorim will have the power to decide on whether he remains in the squad or is sold, as reported by ESPN. Amorim is said to be weighing up a huge overhaul of his struggling squad this summer - with as many as eight players set to depart and Sancho is thought to be on that list."

Real prioritise Bournemouth defender

Bournemouth teenager Dean Huijsen is a leading target for Real Madrid this summer, according to a report in the Mail.

The 19-year-old has been identified as the solution to Los Blancos’ problems in defence following an impressive season with The Cherries.

"Real Madrid have reportedly prioritised the signing of Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen in the upcoming summer placing him above William Saliba and Ibrahima Konate," reads the article.

"It is understood that the Galacticos' sporting directors are already planning the squad for the next year and see the 19-year-old Spaniard as a leading contender for the defensive spot.

"According to Marca, Madrid have intensified their interest after Huijsen received his first call-up for Spain's senior team, following the withdrawal of injured Barcelona centre-back Inigo Martinez.

"The report highlights that Los Blancos want to swiftly move for the player's signature in order to avoid a similar scenario to last summer when Leny Yoro's deal was hijacked by Manchester United.

"It is believed that Huijsen will be available for just £50million due to a release clause in his contract."

Arsenal could turn to Kean

Arsenal could turn to Fiorentina’s Moise Kean to strengthen their forward line, it has been claimed.

Mikel Arteta’s side have had to use Mikel Merino as a makeshift striker following injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz this season.

And they could be tempted to look at former Everton forward Kean as they look to address their lack of depth in attack.

"Arsenal are keeping tabs on Everton flop Moise Kean in their battle to finally add some firepower up front," reads a report in The Sun.

"According to Tuttomercatoweb, however, the North Londoners are finally looking to splash the cash for a No. 9 this coming summer transfer window.

"And Arsenal have been linked with Kean, 25, who is thriving this season with Fiorentina as he has already registered 20 goals and three assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.

"Arsenal are facing competition from Premier League rivals Tottenham, West Ham and Newcastle, who see him as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak if he decides to leave."
