Everton blow late lead against Crystal Palace
Everton’s hopes of a top-four finish in the Premier League were dented by Michy Batshuayi’s 86th minute equaliser to salvage a 1-1 draw for Crystal Palace at Goodison Park on Monday. The Toffees were made to rue a string of missed chances either side of James Rodriguez’s opener as they only narrowly closed the gap on fourth-placed Chelsea to four points. Rodriguez’s return from injury for the first time since Everton ended a two-decade wait to beat Liverpool away in the Merseyside derby in February sparked a far more enterprising performance from Carlo Ancelotti’s men. Vicente Guaita was forced into fine saves from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison in a dominant first-half display from the home side. Rodriguez finally broke the deadlock 11 minutes into the second-half when he fired hom...

Leicester City, Crystal Palace enter talks to sign 28-year-old with 17 goal contributions
Leicester City and Crystal Palace have opened talks to sign Florian Thauvin, whose contract with Marseille expires in June, L’Equipe reports. The 28-year-old had a difficult 2019/2020 season with a serious knee injury, and he ended up making just two appearances in all competitions. He has managed to make a superb comeback this term with eight goals and nine assists in 37 appearances, but there is uncertainty over his future. His current deal with Marseille expires in less than three months, and he has yet to decide whether he will extend his stay with the club. Earlier this year, Thauvin seemed more likely to leave Les Phoceens on a free transfer, but it is stated that he is now considering a renewal. AC Milan, Sevilla, Leicester and Crystal Palace have all held talks with the versatile a...

Crystal Palace boss impressed by Carlo Ancelotti’s work at Everton
Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson expects a tough test against Everton on Monday night. Palace’s squad are preparing to travel to Goodison Park. “Any time you go to Everton, you’re going to face a very very difficult game,” Hodgson said. “They are a good team, well-coached and the players they’ve brought in have made them much stronger. We have to prepare as well as we can and have faith that if we play as well as we know we can do, we can get a good result. “I think it will be a very different team [to the last meeting at Goodison Park]. Carlo [Ancelotti] is working with them and improving them all the time. Almost a year has gone by so that’s another year of working with Carlo. “He’s brought in players that have strengthened the players even more. We know it will be a tough game, but unfor...
On-loan Chelsea star could be promoted to first-team amid Crystal Palace interest
Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher could be promoted to the first-team squad following his season-long loan at West Bromwich Albion, according to Goal.com. The 21-year-old spent the previous campaign on loan with Charlton Athletic and Swansea City respectively, before making the temporary switch to the Baggies last summer. He has been a regular for the Midlands outfit in the Premier League with 23 appearances, registering two goals and two assists. His performances have left a good impression, and Goal claims that he is the front-runner among the loaned out players to get into Thomas Tuchel’s squad. Crystal Palace are said to be interested in the young midfielder, but a transfer won’t be easy as the midfielder still has four years left on his contract. Sportslens view: Gallagher is ce...
Kevin Campbell says Arsenal will reject chance to sign Leeds United target
Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell believes the Gunners will snub the option to sign Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt this summer. The north London club were eyeing a back-up option for left-back Kieran Tierney in January after deciding to loan out Sead Kolasinac to Schalke 04. Van Aanholt was mentioned as a potential target before the deadline, but nothing materialised beyond the transfer speculation. The Dutchman’s current deal expires at the end of June and, as things stand, he will be available on a free transfer in a few months. It was recently suggested that Leeds United could rival the Gunners for the 30-year-old, but Campbell feels his former side may look for a younger option. He told Football Insider: “Van Aanholt could be a shrewd signing on a free, but I think the...
Leeds reportedly in the hunt to sign in-demand defender; available on free in the summer
Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Sheffield Wednesday defender Osaze Urhoghide. The report claims that Watford and Crystal Palace are also monitoring the 20-year-old defender. The youngster is out of contract at the Hillsborough next season, and Leeds can sign him on a free transfer. The young central defender has made nine starts in the Championship this season, and a further two appearances have come from the bench. He has impressed heavily for Wednesday in recent months, producing eye-catching displays against Barnsley and Luton Town. However, his contract situation has generated attention among several clubs, including Leeds and Palace, according to Sheffield Star. SL View Phil Hay claimed recently that Leeds will look to sign at least five players ...
Gabriel Agbonlahor urges Leeds United to sign ‘reliable’ defender with 209 PL appearances
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Gabriel Agbonlahor has said that Leeds United should consider a move for Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt. Van Aanholt has been with the Eagles for the past four years, where he has accumulated 130 appearances across all competitions. His current deal expires at the end of June, and it appears that he could leave on a free transfer with Leeds and Arsenal interested in signing him. In an interview with Football Insider, Agbonlahor said that Van Aanholt would be a ‘great signing’ for a team outside of the top six in the Premier League. He said: “He’s played a lot of Premier League games. He’s Mr Reliable, and he’s very good going forward. “I think that would be a great signing, and it’s something that Leeds should pursue. “Any club in...
