TOP STORY: United still favourites for Maguire

Progress appears to be slow in the Harry Maguire saga, yet Manchester United remain confident they'll be able to seal his signature for £75 million, according to the Daily Mail.

Leicester are still insistent that their centre-back's transfer value is £85m, while United, with renewed optimism after rivals Manchester City admitted they weren't willing to spend such a high figure, are still hoping to lure the Englishman to Old Trafford for £10m less.

It's thought that Maguire himself would rather move to City so he could play Champions League football this season, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to build his new-look United side around the Foxes defender.

Should Leicester sell Maguire, they've reportedly identified Burnley's James Tarkowski as a replacement for about £40m.

9.15 BST: West Ham have approached Itialian giants Juventus with a season-long loan offer for Gonzalo Higuain, Sky Italy have reported.

The striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea and seems to be surplus to the Serie A champions' plans.

West Ham's offer reportedly includes an option to buy, and Juve value the Argentine at around £36m.

The Hammers - who saw Marko Arnautovic depart this week - had been in the market for Celta Vigo forward Maxi Gomez, but talks seem to have broken down with the La Liga club due to disagreements over payment structures.

08.41 BST: Romelu Lukaku has reiterated his desire to leave Manchester United despite a request from manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to stay and fight for his place, sources have told ESPN FC.

08.15 BST: The Sun is reporting that Arsenal are set to step up their interest in Barcelona winger Malcom. The former AS Monaco star has failed to find top form at the Camp Nou and Arsenal have tabled a bid of £31.5m.

PAPER ROUND: Talks on Lukaku's future imminent

And how will United fund the Maguire move? By making good on the rumoured switch to Inter Milan for Romelu Lukaku, which appears to be making headway after the Italian club's sporting director arrived in the U.K. to meet with Red Devils officials, Sky Sports reports.

Piero Ausilio will meet with the club Thursday, and he'll have to show he means business, with Juventus now interested in the Belgian forward as well.

United are reportedly asking for a simple cash deal of £75m, potentially funding their aforementioned signing of Maguire.

Lukaku is currently in preseason training in Australia with the rest of Solskjaer's squad, but it's thought that he wants the negotiations to be completed pronto.

Diego Costa to Everton?

Diego Costa could be set to make a return to the Premier League, but it would be no homecoming, as The Sun reports that the Atletico Madrid forward has his sights set on Everton.

The 30-year-old left England two years ago after falling out with Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, returning to the club the Blues had originally bought him from.

Costa's form in La Liga has been patchy at best, scoring only three goals in 20 games last season. Add to that the signings of Joao Felix and Alvaro Morata and it's not hard to see why the Spaniard might be looking elsewhere.

The Toffees are hopeful of having a summer clearout, with Yannick Bolasie, Cenk Tosun, Mo Besic, Oumar Niasse and Kevin Mirallas all thought to be surplus to requirements.

Tap-ins

- Laurent Koscielny's time at Arsenal could be approaching its conclusion, with Bordeaux interested in bringing the Frenchman to Ligue 1, The Mirror reports. Lyon and Rennes are also keeping tabs on the centre-back, but Bordeaux are believed to have offered him a three-year deal.

- As for potential incomings at Emirates Stadium, The Mirror also says that Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha is edging closer to joining Unai Emery's side. The Gunners saw a £40m offer rejected, with Palace asking for at least double. Arsenal won't give up the fight, though, as they prepare to make another approach, this time a player plus cash deal, potentially involving Calum Chambers, Carl Jenkinson or Mohamed Elneny.
