Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion are included in HITC Sport’s 11am deadline-day roundup.

Tottenham to loan out Marcus Edwards?

According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to loan out young midfielder Marcus Edwards.

The 18-year-old might be the most promising youngster in Tottenham’s academy at the moment but it seems like it is too early for him to break into the senior side.

Consequently, The Daily Mail claim that although Pochettino is a big fan of the teenager, the Argentine believes there are some “faults which need ironing out”, the report claims.

The report adds that Edwards is likely to drop down to the Championship or lower.

Mamadou Sakho to Leicester City?

The Daily Mail has also reported that Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion have “shown interest” in signing Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho.

The former PSG centre-back impressed on a loan at Crystal Palace last season and the Eagles are hopeful of agreeing a £25 million permanent deal.

However, lurking in the background are West Brom and the Foxes, with the Baggies, in particular, possibly needing a central defender as speculation continues to mount over Jonny Evans’s future at The Hawthorns beyond tonight’s deadline.

Thomas Lemar keen to join Liverpool?

Finally, The Mirror (entry posted at 10:28) have reported that Thomas Lemar wants to join Liverpool today.

The Monaco winger has been heavily linked with moves to Liverpool and Arsenal this summer, but the Reds appear most likely after lodging a £70 million bid this week.

And there is good news for manager Jurgen Klopp as The Mirror claims that the 21-year-old – who scored 14 goals and made 14 assists last season – is keen on a switch to Anfield.
