The Swedish striker's anti-French outburst has failed to dim Liverpool's enthusiasm to sign him up

Are Liverpool seriously thinking of making a move for potty-mouthed Paris striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic? And will Newcastle bid farewell to Ayoze Perez? It's all go this Tuesday at Transfer Talk Towers

• Italian giants Inter Milan are consider selling Mateo Kovacic at the end of the season, news that will put a smile on the faces of Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton. According to Talksport, the midfielder "has gone off the boil in recent weeks" and as a result Inter will look to offload the player they bought for around £9m from Dinamo Zagreb in January 2013. In addition Inter are unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League after a recent slump in form has seen them drop to eighth in Serie A. So the club will be forced to sell off some of their prized assets – and Kovacic is one their gems, with Talksport claiming Inter will demand in the region of £20m for the playmaker. Arsenal and United are leading the chase with clubs reportedly sending scouts to watch Kovacic in action.
