Therefore, Crystal Palace have already started looking for replacements and as per David Ornstein, the Eagles are working on the deal to sign Leicester City star Bilal El Khannouss. Palace reportedly have seen their first bid worth £20m ($27m) get rejected for the 21-year-old as the Foxes are keen to hold onto the Moroccan midfielder.

Crystal Palace star midfielder Eberechi Eze has informed the club of his decision on his future as Tottenham wait in the wings to sign him. It’s been a difficult summer for the Eagles, who learned their fate of demotion to the Conference League after a dispute with UEFA over multi-club ownership rules.

Crystal Palace could be without Eberechi Eze for their Premier League opener against Chelsea due to transfer speculation, according to reports.
