    Here are the latest transfer rumours from the papers and beyond...

    Lille winger Eden Hazard, 21, has decided to join Tottenham at the end of the season, despite interest from Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea. However, a fee has yet to be agreed between Spurs and the French side. (France Football)

    The break in protocol before Manchester United's league meeting with Liverpool at Old Trafford on Saturday - which saw the visitors walk along the line of United players during the pre-match handshakes rather than vice-versa - was an attempt by referee Phil Dowd to keep Luis Suarez out of trouble. (Daily Mail)

    Liverpool's American owners are set to fly in this week in an attempt to repair the damage inflicted by the Suarez handshake row. (Daily Express)

    Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has risked the wrath of Manchester City fans on Twitter, laughing at Kolo and Yaya Toure's Africa Cup of Nations final defeat for Ivory Coast. (Metro)
