UK Back Pages: Robin van Persie Out, Thomas Muller In, Chelsea Sign Begovic
Friday's back pages are split across a variety of sports, but despite Wimbledon, the Ashes and even Mo Farah's track return, there's still room for transfer rumours.
Most prominent is the story that Manchester United will part with Robin van Persie, with the deal taking him to Fenerbahce to be confirmed as soon as Friday.
The Sun focus on the feeling of betrayal that the Dutchman reportedly feels:

The Guardian's take on Van Persie is more sombre, but ponders who could come in, given United have already offloaded Radamel Falcao:

In the Daily Star, there's a punt at the key name replacing RVP: Thomas Muller of Bayern Munich:

If that seems ambitious, one deal that isn't is Asmir Begovic to Chelsea, which the Daily Mirror presents as all but done:

The same paper adds a report that manager Steve McClaren has banned swearing at Newcastle United.
Thereafter, though, the focus is on other sport. With Andy Murray fighting for a place in the Wimbledon final and the cricket bubbling up in Cardiff, it's going to take a whole lot of Raheem Sterling calling in sick for training for football to return to the front pages:
