Manchester United’s attempt to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester City is “very much alive”, a source close to negotiations has told Sky Sports News.

Leicester have made it clear they are not interested in selling at the £70m price United have offered, especially after seeing United pay £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who they feel cannot compare to Maguire in proven international quality and experience.

Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, Leicester's owner, would need to personally sign off any deal for Maguire, who still has four years left on his contract and is seen as a key asset in their squad.

West Ham have made an offer to sign Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain on a season-long loan, according to Sky in Italy.

Lemina: "I did not accompany the team in the pre-season training camp in agreement with the coach. He wants to build his group with the players who want to stay at the club, so he left me out."
