Potential moves at Molineux and Stamford Bridge make headlines on Friday.

What the papers say

Wolves could be looking to make a number of loan deals permanent in the coming transfer window, according to the Express and Star. Nuno Espirito Santo's outfit may look to make moves for Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose, Angers full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and Porto's midfielder Vitinha.

Chelsea are said to be preparing should Christian Pulisic leave Stamford Bridge, with Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman being lined up as a potential replacement, the Daily Mail reports.

Another potential departure from west London is Jorginho, who has been linked with a move to Napoli by the Daily Express. It follows rumours he is looking to reunite with Maurizio Sarri, who is tipped to return to the club as manager.

Konstantinos Mavropanos will fight to remain at Arsenal, despite interest from Stuttgart in making his loan move permanent, says the Daily Mirror. The Greek signed for the Gunners in 2018 but has struggled to become a first team regular.

Angelo Gabriel, the 16-year-old Santos winger, has already got a list of suitors despite his young age, with Liverpool and Real Madrid both keen on the youngster, writes the Sun.
