The reigningSerie A MVP has become Napoli's new poster boy, a position previously held by Diego Maradona and Edinson Cavani.

Such has been his impact, that there arePremier League clubs keen to bring the Lancaster-born, Manchester-made, now-Italian football icon back to English shores. Fichajes claim several sides are interested, but Napoli are desperate to keep hold of 'McFratm' and will offer the 29-year-old a bumper new deal.

Having let McSauce slip from their grasp, Manchester United continue to assess midfield options. The Red Devils are reportedly weighing up a 'shock raid' onLiverpool for Alexis Mac Allister. It's been 62 years since the clubs last did direct business, so let's file this one down as unlikely. Add in that the source is The Star, and this appears a tabloid Hail Mary for some extra clicks.

Williams may cost close to €100m andBrighton, as ever, are aiming to unearth the next big thing before his value sky rockets.

Top of the wish list for the Seagulls this summer isSaid El Mala. Sky Germany say Brighton hope that a €30m fee, and a significant sell-on clause, can persuade Köln to do business.
