Monday's paper talk: Erling Braut Haaland, Declan Rice, Ousmane Dembele

Erling Braut Haaland, Rice and Soucek are making headlines in Monday's papers.

What the papers say

The saga of Erling Haaland continues, with the Sun reporting the young Norwegian could be on his way out of Borussia Dortmund if they miss out on a place in next season's Champions League, with a host of top European sides all linked with the 20-year-old.

West Ham have accepted they will have to look carefully at offers for Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek in the summer, the Mirror reports. Rice and Soucek have helped David Moyes' side to the top half of the table this campaign.

Italy could beckon for Yerry Mina, writes the Sun, with both Inter Milan and Fiorentina interested in signing the Everton and Colombia centre-back.

Callum McGregor is among the targets for Leicester, writes the Sun. Brendan Rodgers is said to be keen on a reunion with the 27-year-old Celtic and Scotland midfielder who played under the Foxes boss when he was at Parkhead.

John Terry, who is part of the Aston Villa set-up after hanging up his boots, is one of the contenders to succeed Chris Wilder as Sheffield United, says the Mirror. Wilder left the Blades by mutual consent in March.
