With Real Madrid lacking firepower up front, Zinedine Zidane is prioritising a move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane, according to Spanish daily Sport.

Uproar over coronavirus pay-cuts 

Premier League players are set to revolt over proposed wage cuts, according to the Daily Mirror. While footballers are committed to philanthropic efforts during the coronavirus crisis, they would prefer to make direct contributions to charity themselves but feel that clubs are trying to force them into signing contracts that radically reduce their wages indefinitely, rather than for the duration of the crisis. All 20 Premier League captains have started a WhatsApp group to coordinate a united response. 

Premier League giants on alert as Real Madrid look to sell Bale and James

Everton are keen on signing Bale, but the costs may be prohibitive, while Arsenal and Wolves are among the clubs linked with a move for the Colombian.
