Football rumours: Graham Potter linked with Ajax job
What the papers say
Dutch giants Ajax are keen on hiring former Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter, the Guardian reports. Potter has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea last April and has also been linked with Manchester United, should they decide to move on from Erik ten Hag.
The Canada men’s national team have approached former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and ex-Leeds boss Jesse Marsch about leading the side into the 2026 World Cup, writes the Standard.
Also in the Standard, Arsenal are said to be tracking multiple midfielder targets amid fears that a deal for 25-year-old Spain international Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad may fall out of reach.
