Thursday's back pages have Jadon Sancho saying no to Spain, Everton looking at two forwards at once, and Paris St-Germain trying to settle Desire Doue's future before anyone else gets close to him.

Sancho rejects Getafe

Marca report that the 26-year-old England winger has turned down an offer from Getafe. He has been without a club since leaving Manchester United in the summer and there is an offer from Saudi Arabia on the table instead, which tends to be the direction these things travel once the European options thin out.

Everton, meanwhile, are considering a move for Marcus Rashford, according to Football Insider. The 28-year-old is still a Manchester United player. Teamtalk add that Everton are also watching Orri Oskarsson, the 22-year-old Iceland striker at Real Sociedad, as they look for more in attack.

PSG move to tie down Doue

Desire Doue, 21, is in contract talks with Paris St-Germain, who want his long-term future settled while Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City take an interest. That one comes from Teamtalk.

Liverpool have been in contact with Monaco about Lamine Camara, the 22-year-old Senegal midfielder who came close to joining Chelsea over the summer, the Sun say. Chelsea have not lost interest in Jarrad Branthwaite either. Football Insider report they remain admirers of Everton's 24-year-old England defender, with Manchester United also in the picture.

Midfielders on the list

CaughtOffside say Chelsea are weighing up a move for Fermin Lopez, the 23-year-old Barcelona and Spain midfielder, with PSG keen as well. Leeds United will try to sign Porto's Nigeria left-back Zaidu Sanusi, 29, in January, according to Football Insider.

And Teamtalk have Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all looking at Nico Paz at Como, though the Serie A club have no intention of selling the 22-year-old Argentina international. Which is roughly what Como said last January, and the January before.
