THE SUN: Fulham are sensationally taking legal action against Premier League chairman Sir Dave Richards. Also: Arsene Wenger was told last night: You are keeping Cesc Fabregas against his will.

DAILY STAR: Liverpool's 2.75m bid to land Luke Young has collapsed after he refused to take a 10,000 a week pay cut. Also: Sir Alex Ferguson plans to keep new strike sensation Javier Hernandez all to himself this season.

DAILY MAIL: Carlo Ancelotti has predicted Manchester City will challenge for the Premier League title if they add the 'crazy talent' of Mario Balotelli to their squad.
