Palace want Iheanacho

Crystal Palace will make a move for Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho should Jean-Philippe Mateta leave this summer.

Iheanacho, 26, is deemed important to relegated Leicester's bid to return to the Premier League but Roy Hodgson has made him one of his top transfer targets.

The Foxes do not want to lose Iheanacho, but Palace know he will be available on a cut-price deal with his contract set to expire next summer.

Hodgson is desperate to add goals to his frontline after club legend Wilfried Zaha departed for Galatasaray, and knows Mateta is ready to explore a move away with both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig interested.

Spurs expected to make Johnson bid

Tottenham are expected to make a bid for Nottingham Forest striker Brennan Johnson this summer if they can reduce the size of their squad.

Johnson has been earmarked to help fill the goals void created by Harry Kane's exit and has "loads of admirers" at Spurs, according to Football London's Alasdair Gold. Jonathan David, Gift Emmanuel Orban and Mehdi Taremi have also been linked.

Gold said on his YouTube channel: “He’s got loads of admirers at Tottenham. He will certainly cost more than Gift Orban and again probably plays more out wide but can play centrally. Keep an eye on Brennan Johnson links as well. I know [Fabio] Paratici was a big fan of his as well, obviously still involved in his consultancy role at Spurs.”
