Thursday's papers: Jadon Sancho, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Dani Ceballos

Jadon Sancho, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Chris Smalling are all being talked about in Thursday's papers.

What the papers say

Manchester United are in prime position to land the signature of Jadon Sancho over the summer, the Independent reports. Sancho, 20, is currently on the books of Borussia Dortmund and is subject to interest from a number of top European clubs but the Old Trafford side are leading the race, the paper says.

Real Madrid are still keen on bringing in Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Daily Star says. The LaLiga side are hopeful a player-plus-cash deal will be enough to see the Gabon striker leave the Emirates.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are looking to sign Chris Smalling from Manchester United, with the Red Devils looking for £25m reports the Metro.

Dani Ceballos could stay at Arsenal beyond the expected expiration of his loan deal on June 30, the London Evening Standard reports. Mikel Arteta's side are confident they will be able to keep the 23-year-old longer should the football season run into July.
