Also: Ledley King cried when he learned his career was over.


Sunday Mirror: Manchester City transfer chief Brian Marwood is set to jeopardise the club’s bid to sign Robin van Persie by refusing to make him their highest-paid player in a move which will delight ­rivals United, who believe they can win the race for Van Persie if City do not blow the bank.

Also: Southampton have shown their intent for a first season back in the ­Premier League – by making an audacious enquiry about Arsenal and England ­winger Theo Walcott.

Also: Newcastle will only move for Andy Carroll if Demba Ba’s £7million buy-out clause is activated before Tuesday’s deadline.

Metro: Great Britain fans might still be wondering how Gareth Bale made a miraculous recovery to play in Tottenham’s pre-season tour of America after he withdrew from the Olympics with a back injury.

Also: Liverpool's search for a new creative force has seen Brendan Rodgers line up a £14million bid for Benfica's Nicolas Gaitan, according to reports in Portugal.

And: Owen Hargreaves could still have another chance to prove he is up to the demands of the Premier League after he started training with QPR.
