          TOP STORY: Chelsea to offer Lazio star fresh start, Carvalho interest

          Felipe Anderson was one of Europe's finest young talents two seasons ago, but the Brazilian failed to live up to expectations in 2015-16. Now, Lazio are prepared to cash in on the 23-year-old, according to reports from the Gazzetta World.

          Despite struggling to hit the heights of the previous season, Felipe produced seven goals and four assists as Lazio finished a disappointing eighth place. The winger has linked up with agent Giuliano Bertolucci, who has strong ties with the Blues; Italian outlet Gazetta World suggested a move to Stamford Bridge.

          Fresh from winning Euro 2016 with Portugal, William Carvalho could now be on his way to the Premier League. The Sun claims that Everton have joined the race to sign the Sporting Lisbon midfielder, with Southampton and Leicester also interestd.

          PAPER TALK

          By Jack Rathborn

          Gotze set for Dortmund homecoming?

          After struggling to cement his place in three seasons at Bayern Munich, Mario Gotze then lost his place in the Germany lineup halfway through this summer's European Championship. Surely, a move will be on the cards this summer.

          Tottenham Hotspur were keen on the 24-year-old, reports the Mirror, but the lure of returning to boyhood club Borussia Dortmund appears to be the player's preferred destination. Gotze initially declared his intention to work with new manager Carlo Ancelotti at the Allianz Arena, but is now reportedly prepared to move in an effort to inject momentum into his career.

          Boro in ambitious swoop for former City striker

          Alvaro Negredo has endured a fall from grace since departing Manchester City, with his move to Valencia failing to work out. However, the Spaniard could be offered a move back to England to resurrect his career with Middlesbrough, who are reportedly in talks with Valencia over the striker, reports the Sun.

          The Spanish striker could be attracted to compatriot Aitor Karanka's side, who initially want to take the 30-year-old on loan, with Los Che looking for £8.5 million in a permanent move. Boro have been efficient with their business this summer, acquiring Victor Valdes, Marten De Roon, Viktor Fischer and Bernardo, but adding Negredo could go a long way toward securing survival next season.

          Tap-ins

          - Swansea are set to capture Barcelona's Cristian Tello as Fiorentina stalled on a potential deal after the player's loan last season, reports Gazzetta World.

          - Meanwhile, Gazetta World suggests Jordan Lukaku, after impressing with Belgium at the Euros, could be set for a big move to Lazio. The Anderlecht left-back, brother of Everton striker Romelu, looks set for a big future after demonstrating a real attacking threat in France this summer.
