Crystal Palace 'learn bargain asking price' as Man Utd miss out on 'target'


The Premier League clubs are starting to use their weight as the summer transfer window begins to unravel. Euro 2024 and Copa América have caused a delay in business this summer, but we are now starting to see more and more deals get done, which should be no surprise.
There is no stopping Premier League clubs from spending money, and that also applies to the London clubs, who have spent significantly year on year. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League.

Crystal Palace have been linked with a move for Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson this summer. The winger has been made available after struggling to nail down a first team place under Mikel Arteta, while the Gunners are also looking to make space to spend again this summer.
According to The Telegraph, Nelson will be available for between £15million and £20million this summer, and that will give Palace a chance to replace Michael Olise on the cheap. West Ham have also been linked with a move for the winger this summer.
Neves to PSG
Manchester United are said to have missed out on a deal to sign talented Portuguese star Joao Neves, with the Benfica man reportedly deciding to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Record claim PSG have all-but wrapped up a deal that will see Neves make the switch to the French capital for £59million plus add-ons. Benfica were previously asking for as much as £101million, according to reports. Neves said earlier this season: “My desire at the moment is to remain at Benfica. After that I can't promise anything.” But with PSG offering significant cash to complete a deal, it looks as though the situation is out of his hands, and an ambitious young player, he will surely jump at the chance to join PSG in any case.

Hide AdHull chief on Philogene
Hull City director Tan Kesler has been speaking about the deal that will see Jaden Philogene head back to Aston Villa on a deal worth around £18million. Villa held an option to match any offer from another club in Philogene’s deal.
"Jaden Philogene will most likely return to Aston Villa upon the agreement we made. We are doing the paperwork," Kesler told Turkish outlet Hurriyet
"When we say he will return, we are not sending him back," the director added. "Jaden Philogene received very serious offers from approximately five to six big clubs. Barcelona made a loan offer, we met with two clubs from Germany. Approximately 15-16 scouts from top teams watched him during the season. By purchasing Jaden Philogene, we actually created an opportunity for Aston Villa. In return for this opportunity, they said, ‘We are prepared to match all offers that may come in the market'. We showed them these offers and they matched them. They have now taken Jaden back."
