Also: Blackburn last night blocked Chris Samba's bit to quit Ewood Park.

And: Paris Saint-Germain are believed to have made a £25m bid for Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez after City turned down a £21m bid from Inter Milan.

Plus: Liverpool are eyeing a move for £5m-rated Swansea striker Scott Sinclair.

Daily Mail: Roberto Mancini's red-card row with Wayne Rooney was re-ignited on Monday night as Manchester City's hard-fought win over Wigan was overshadowed by yet another moment of touchline controversy at the DW Stadium.

Also: Seven footballers from across the four home nations have turned down invitations to play in the Team GB Olympic football team.

Metro: Lokomotiv Moscow are plotting to scupper Arsenal's attempts to land Cologne striker Lukas Podolski this summer.

Also: Liverpool have decided to proceed with their original, nine-year-old stadium plans once they have secured the finance to start construction.

The Times: Manchester City have told Inter Milan that they want at least £25million for Carlos Tevez after rejecting a bid from the Italian club for their rebel striker.

The Guardian: Manchester City's lead at the top of the Premier League is back to three points, courtesy of Edin Dzeko's first goal in two months and a measured performance against willing but limited opponents.

Also: Robin van Persie has revealed that Arsenal want his five-year-old son to enter their youth training ranks.

The Independent: Manchester City appeared to be inching closer to ending the Carlos Tevez transfer saga last night, with Inter Milan - now the clear front-runners in the pursuit of him - only £4m short of the £25m asking price which may persuade the club to let him go.

Also: Harry Redknapp was told by the Marseille president, Vincent Labrune, that Loic Remy will not be allowed to leave the club this month when the Tottenham manager attended the club's home game against Lille on Sunday night.
