TOP STORY: Sturridge 'ready to leave Liverpool'
Increasing uncertainty has surrounded the future of Daniel Sturridge in recent weeks and the striker's Liverpool days might soon be at an end, according to the Mirror.
It reports that Sturridge is ready to "spark a £28 million battle for his signature" after becoming frustrated at his recent lack of first-team opportunities on Merseyside.
West Ham and Stoke City are among the interested parties, although the Mirror adds that "a number of clubs" have been made aware that the England international is ready to move on.
Sturridge had previously indicated he would be prepared to stay and fight for a first-team place, but he is behind both Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi in manager Jurgen Klopp's thinking, the report says.
Meanwhile, could Liverpool's hopes of signing Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud hang in the balance?
The Liverpool Echo reports that they could, adding that a one-time Anfield player has something to do with it.
That's because Klopp's former club Borussia Dortmund are lining up a deal for 20-year-old Dahoud that would involve Nuri Sahin heading for Gladbach, scuppering a Liverpool switch.
Schweini 'can talk to interested parties'
It's definitely the end of the road for Bastian Schweinsteiger at Manchester United despite his hopes of a route back, with the Daily Mail reporting that he has been given "free rein to find new employers in January."
The former Germany captain recently returned to training with the first-team squad after being frozen out by manager Jose Mourinho.
But the Mail says that makes no difference to the overall picture and adds that "the 32-year-old's representative has the green light to discuss moves with a number of interested parties."
Sources have told ESPN FC that Schweinsteiger is already talking to MLS club Chicago Fire.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan are keen to sign four United players, according to reports.
New Inter coach Stefano Pioli wants to bring in Chris Smalling, Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind as he rebuilds his team.
And the Sun says Inter hope their warm relationship with Mourinho will help smooth the path to those moves.
But the Serie A club face competition for at least two of the quartet, with Everton manager Ronald Koeman having expressed an interest in Depay and Smalling being linked with a switch to Arsenal.
Tigers eye Morrison magic
Hull City will turn to former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrisonas they seek to add creative spark to what has been a tough Premier League campaign so far.
The Sun reports that Tigers boss Mike Phelan intends to move for a player with whom he worked at Old Trafford.
Morrison, 23, joined Lazio on a free transfer last year but has been told he is free to look for a new club after making only eight appearances for them.
According to the Sun, he would cost Hull around £600,000, with Phelan having previously voiced belief that the player's talent "needs harnessing the right way."
Tap-ins
- Both Swansea and Sunderland have been linked with Leicester striker Leonardo Ulloa -- but they won't get him for anything less than £10 million, the Telegraph reports.
It says Sunderland manager David Moyes, who secured his first Premier League win with the Black Cats at Bournemouth, is ready to table a bid for the former Brighton striker.
But Premier League champions Leicester "are determined to recoup a significant fee if they agree to sell Ulloa."
- A clutch of English clubs are keeping an eye on Rennes winger Paul-Georges Ntep, according to the Mirror, which says Arsenal and Liverpool are among them.
Ntep is out of contract in the summer, enabling him to begin talks with overseas clubs about a potential move in January -- and reports in France suggest Rennes could opt to sell him in the winter window to ensure they get a transfer fee.
