Done Deal : Crystal Palace Sign Chelsea Striker

Chelsea striker Loic Remy has completed a loan move to Crystal Palace, bringing his time with the Blues to a temporary end after two seasons.

Remy moved to Stamford Bridge in 2014 after impressing with Queens Park Rangers and Newcastle United on loan, becoming the primary back-up behind star striker Diego Costa.

The France international made the most of his opportunities in his first season at Stamford Bridge, scoring seven Premier League goals while starting just six matches.

But despite his solid performances, former manager Jose Mourinho gave the 29-year-old few chances to show he could be a starter, even when Costa struggled for form early in the 2015-16 campaign.

Crystal Palace Agree Personal Terms with £32m Liverpool Star

Crystal Palace have agreed personal terms with Liverpool’s star striker Christian Benteke.

The Guardian states that Palace have agreed to match Benteke’s £120,000-a-week wages. The London based club are also close to agreeing a £32 million  deal with Liverpool for the Belgium international.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that he is prepared to sell Benteke this summer.

“Christian already said it maybe makes sense for him to go to another club and that’s the situation at this moment,” Jurgen Klopp stated.

“Christian is still a great striker and that’s how it is, but we have a few more strikers and in this moment it makes more sense to give them match time and that is what we did.”

Meanwhile, Liverpool told Besiktas who are also intrested in Benteke’s signature that they will consider a loan offer for Benteke after 26 August if their valuation if not met according to Futbol Arena.

Benteke’s agent Eris Kismet meanwhile told Turkish-football.com, that the Reds asking price is making it difficult for the clubs interested to sign the striker.

“Liverpool want to sell Benteke but clubs that are interested as unable to match his valuation,” Kismet said.

“Liverpool would probably have to reduce their asking price if a transfer is to go ahead.”

Benteke provided six assists and scored ten goals in 42 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool last season.

Crystal Palace Set To Sign Newcastle Winger

Crystal Palace are set to keep former Tottenham winger Andros Townsend in the Premier League.

The Eagles look set to offer Newcastle £8million for the Winger, who will be keen to return to the top flight of English football – and possibly London too.

The winger, who failed to secure a place in Roy Hodgson’s England side for the Euro’s in France this summer after being included in the provisional 26-man squad, apparently has an £8million release clause that Palace are willing to meet.

Townsend cost Newcastle £12m last January and following Rafael Benitez’s arrival to the Toon, the 24-year-old really started to impress again and had several good games before the season came to an end.

Alan Pardew will be keen to add more goals to his team and Andros Townsend certainly has the ability to find the back of the net, both from open play and from set-pieces.
