The summer transfer window is open for business and there is a sense things are starting to host up as Premier League clubs prepare to return for pre-season training.
Just under two weeks have passed since the window opened and there are a number of big deals bubbling under the surface, with several expecting to be completed over the coming week. With progress being made on moves across the league, 3AddedMinutes looks at the transfer talk doing the rounds and gives our take on the latest speculation.
Crystal Palace identify £30million Zaha replacement
Crystal Palace are preparing a £30million for Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto as they prepare for life without Selhurst Park stalwart Wilfried Zaha.
The 30-times capped Ivory Coast international is in the final days of his current contract and is set to bring down the curtain on his second spell with the club where he made his name. The loss of Zaha – who has made over 450 appearances for Palace – will be a major blow and replacing a fan favourite will be no easy task.
However, The Mirror have now suggested Palace could take advantage of Leeds’ relegation into the Championship by making a move for Italian international Gnonto. The 19-year-old scored four goals and provided four assists in 28 appearances for the Whites last season and is one player said to be available to depart as they prepare for life in the second tier during the upcoming campaign. Everton are also said to be keen on a move for Gnonto as Sean Dyche looks to put his own stamp on the squad he inherited during the secodn half of last season.
