Football rumours from the media

Marcus Rashford and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel wants Marcus Rashford next season, according to The Independent. The German thinks England “don’t realise how good a player Rashford actually is”, though Manchester United value their 22-year-old forward at more than £100 million. The newspaper reports Tuchel would be willing to pay as he is a fan of Rashford’s versatility and directness.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg wants out at Southampton and north London appears likely to be his new home, reports the Evening Standard. The paper says the 24-year-old has told Saints he wants to be part of a larger club and Tottenham is his destination. Spurs, who will have to compete with Ajax for the midfielder, think they can drive down Southampton’s current £35m price tag by including Kyle Walker-Peters as part of the deal.
