Crystal Palace chase £7.1m player backed for 'highest level' as winger snubs West Ham

The return of the Premier League is almost upon us, with the international break set to conclude on Wednesday for the most part. Another interesting fixture list lies in wait, with Fulham welcoming Wolves and Brentford heading to Everton.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace face Aston Villa away from home as they look to turn their poor start around, and West Ham head to Newcastle United looking to do the same. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League.

Traoré latest

Crystal Palace are said to be interested in signing Hammarby IF star Bazoumana Touré. According to Fotboll Direkt via SportWitness, the 18-year-old is attracting serious interest from the Eagles, and they could push for a deal as soon as January. The youngster will reportedly command a fee of £7.1million.

Traore’s manager Kim Hellberg has said of Traoré: “I think he can play at the absolute highest level that can be played at. I don't see why he shouldn't have the chance to get there. After all, there have been many players who had the opportunity to get there but didn't take that path. He is unique in his way of learning things and picking things up. Now he scored two goals with his head... and we have worked so much on how he should get into the box and how he should position himself to create advantages linked to the fact that he is not a big player."

Pulisic latest

West Ham are said to be interested in a deal for AC Milan’s top scorer, Christian Pulisic. The former Chelsea winger has been on fire for Milan, and talk of a Premier League return is gathering momentum ahead of the January, and more likely the summer.

According to Calciomercato.it, the Hammers are not likely to get their hands on Pulisic, though, with the player not tempted by the idea of making the move to the London Stadium. The Hammers may have to replace Mohamed Kudus in the not too distant future, but it seems they may have to look beyond Pulisic.

Amorim on Man Utd style

New Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim says Red Devils fans will get an early idea of his style in his first game in charge this weekend. "I think you will see an idea. You could like it or not, I don't know, but you will see an idea,” he told the club website.

“You will see a positioning. You will see something that we want to reach that kind of level. You will feel that. We have to know that it's like two trainings before the first match. This is the best league in the world. But if I have to say something to you, [it's that] you will see an idea. This I can guarantee."
