Friday's football murmurs include Italian interest in Sandro Tonali and Fulham's persistent Pepi pursuit.

Just as the agent of Alexander Isak engineered an exit fromNewcastle United last summer, it feels as if Sandro Tonali's people might just be doing the same. Leaked reports of an approach from Arsenal emerged late in the January transfer window, while Manchester United and Chelsea have also been credited as courters this week.

Now it's the turn ofJuventus, with the Old Lady looking to bring the midfielder back to Serie A. Gazzetta dello Sport say that Juventus have made Tonali their top target for the summer.

Fulham failed in their bid to sign Ricardo Pepi in January, but the Cottagers are not giving up without a fight. Having seen a winter window deal collapse as PSV struggled to source a replacement, the West Londoners are looking to get a deal done for June.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Fulham want the striker signed before he heads off to represent the USA at a home World Cup.

Jesse Lingard's time in the wilderness might be approaching an end. The free agent, who departed FC Seoul in December, could link up with ex-Manchester United teammate Robin van Persie at Feyenoord. talkSPORT are claiming that Lingard had hoped for a return to West Ham last month, but Nuno Espirito Santo burst that bubble.

Another unattached name nearing a new club isAlex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The ex-Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder has agreed a six-month deal at Celtic, marking his return to British football after a spell with Besiktas.

Lastly, Leeds are on the lookout for a new shot-stopper.TEAMtalk say Daniel Farke has been 'underwhelmed' by summer signing Lucas Perri and could look to cut his losses on the £13.9m recruit.
