A number of papers consider the prospect of talks to end the war in Iran.

The Times says President Trump seems to have found someone to his liking to negotiate with.

It says Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is a hard-talking right-winger, reported to have made a fortune in property - formerly the mayor of Tehran and now the speaker of parliament.

The Guardian considers whether he is a strongman or a pragmatic insider, and concludes that his "anointment" by Trump may at least send the message to Israel that he is not to be killed.

Many of the back-pages lead with the departure from Liverpool of the Egyptian striker Mo Salah after nine years.

The Daily Express headlines its coverage with a phrase from his statement: "I'll Never Walk Alone." The i Paper says there's confidence in Saudi Arabia that he might join the Pro League there, as long as there's a de-escalation of conflict in the region.

Sticking with football, the Daily Mail considers the "most expensive Three Lions World Cup shirts ever." At £90, the Daily Star suggests, "the shirt hits the fan!"
