Arsene Wenger has opened the door further to losing Alexis Sanchez for free, arguing that tying him to a big new contract at Arsenal could prove to be even more expensive than foregoing a transfer fee for him this summer.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be set for a coaching role at Manchester United once his playing career finishes, as The Independentunderstands the prospect has already been discussed in preliminary talks about a potential new contract.

Let's take a look around today's back pages, shall we?

Tottenham are yet to sign anybody during this transfer window, and are instead fending off further interest in their current players.

The Sun reports that chairman Daniel Levy has warned that DELE ALLI would not be sold even if £150million was offered - news which will disappoint Barcelona and Manchester City.

They also appear to be in no mood to entertain Chelsea's interest in DANNY ROSE, according to the Evening Standard.

North London rivals Arsenal are also doing their best to deter bidders interested in ALEXIS SANCHEZ and ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN.

The Daily Star reports Manchester City have bid £60million for Sanchez, with the Express reporting a £45million bid has already been rejected.

The Sun reports that Arsene Wenger has told Oxlade-Chamberlain he wants him to stay for a "long time" as Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United circle.

Often on the periphery Oxlade-Chamberlain started the Gunners league opener against Leicester last weekend and Wenger wants him to stay and says he sees a big future for the 24-year-old.

The 25-year-old returned to the field for the first time since breaking his leg last season impressing for the Gunners' Under-23s earlier this week.
