Adams, Vokes and Rudy all make the headlines on Monday.

What the papers say

Birmingham's top scorer Che Adams could be on his way out of St Andrews, the Daily Mirror reports. Adams, who signed for the Blues in 2016, is subject of interest from Southampton, who have tabled a £8m bid, the paper reports. Fulham, Burnley, Leicester and Wolves are also interested.

Stoke are among the sides interested in taking on Burnley striker Sam Vokes, the Stoke Sentinel says. Vokes has three goals in 20 Premier League games this season and new Potters manager Nathan Jones is looking to spend £9m on the Wales international.

Nottingham Forest are looking to bolster their defence with West Ham's Reece Oxford as the side aim to push for a play-off spot. The Reds are looking at making a move for the £8m-rated defender, according to the Daily Mirror.

Manchester City have been told they will need to pay upwards of £35m to land Schalke midfielder Sebastian Rudy, the Manchester Evening News says. City want to bring in the 28-year-old as a potential replacement for Fernandinho after they missed out on signing Frenkie De Jong from Ajax.

The transfer window closes on Thursday and Tottenham may be interested in adding to their squad, with Leeds hot prospect Jack Clarke in the frame, according to the Daily Mirror. However the Elland Road side are said to be reluctant to sell the winger.
