Crystal Palace eye Shea Charles, Leicester linked with Justin Devenny
Crystal Palace join the race for Southampton midfielder Shea Charles after Leeds see two bids rejected, eyeing a late move for the Northern Ireland international.
Palace set Maxence Lacroix’s price above the £52m Jan Paul van Hecke benchmark as Chelsea eye a move, though there has been no club-to-club contact yet. With three years left on his deal, Palace hold a strong hand.
Leicester are linked with Crystal Palace midfielder Justin Devenny, with a fan pundit calling a potential loan or permanent deal a ‘major coup’.
Palace target a centre back, central midfielder and No 10 for the Europa League. Talks to renew Henderson, Richards and Kamada are progressing. There is no pressure to sell Mateta. Lacroix is valued above £52m. Rak-Sakyi is set to go.
Pierre Sage targets Lens’s Mamadou Sangare for Palace, with Manchester United also in the race. The Mali midfielder, valued around £34m, shone in Ligue 1 and could reunite with his former boss at Selhurst Park.
