Crystal Palace 'receive approach' from Premier League rivals as Chelsea 'restart talks'

The Premier League is almost back, with just two weeks to go until the big kick-off. Clubs around the league are now beginning to return from their pre-season tours en masse, with friendlies at home stadiums now taking centre stage.

In the meantime, clubs are working around the club in a bid to secure new signings ahead of the new campaign kicking off. With that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours from around the Premier League.

Guehi approach

Crystal Palace are now said to have received an approach for key defender Marc Guehi. David Ornstein of The Athletic has reported that talks have begun, but Palace will likely to be asking for big money after the sale of Michael Olise earlier in the windoiow.

“Newcastle United have opened negotiations with Crystal Palace over a move to sign Marc Guehi,” Ornstein wrote. “He is high on the recruitment lists at a number of Europe’s biggest clubs — but Newcastle are the first to enter meaningful talks as they pursue what would be regarded a significant coup.“

Gallagher talks

Chelsea are said to have restarted talks with Conor Gallagher over a new deal as they look to prevent his exit. Atletico Madrid have reportedly agreed a £34million deal for the midfielder, but he will only leave if a new contract cannot be agreed.

The England international has rejected early offers but fresh talks are said to have taken place. Fabrizio Romano tweeted: “New round of talks today between Chelsea, Conor Gallagher and his agents. Chelsea don’t want another Rüdiger case with important player leaving as free agent. Atlético Madrid insist on player’s decision by end of the weekend.”

Leicester win attacker race

Leicester City look to have won the race to sign Watford and Colombia star Yaser Asprilla this summer. According to Sebastien Denis, the 20-year-old attacker has decided on a move to the King Power Stadium despite Stade-Rennais making an approach.

It’s reported that the deal will be worth as much as £21million, with Asprilla having already racked up six senior Colombia caps. The highly rated forward is now set to boost Steve Cooper’s attack after the departure of Kelechi Iheanacho this summer.
