Today’s football gossip: Man Utd eye Germany star Kai Havertz, James Rodriguez lined up by Everton and Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set for cut-price £30m exit

Manchester United are keeping an eye on Kai Havertz, who has impressed in the Bundesliga for Bayer Leverkusen, according to the Evening Standard.

The paper says United’s focus on the attacking Germany midfielder will become more intense if they fail to sign England winger and Havertz’s fellow 20-year-old Jadon Sancho.

Havertz has also attracted the attention of Chelsea, Liverpool, Juventus and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Colombia midfielder James Rodriguez has been offered a four-year contract with Everton, according to Spain’s Mundo Deportivo.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be leaving North London for a bargain price, according to The Sun.

The paper says Arsenal are willing to sell the Gabon striker, who will soon start the final year of his contract with the Gunners, for just £30m.

The 30-year-old joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in 2018 for £60m and he has gone on to captain the team. But selling Aubameyang would help Arsenal manager and former midfielder Mikel Arteta as he attempts to overhaul his squad with a severely limited budget.

Liverpool have begun talks with representatives of 21-year-old Lille and Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen, says French outlet Le10.
