ANDROS TOWNSEND

Newcastle are trying to-resign their former winger from Crystal Palace, The Sun reports.

The 26-year-old joined the Selhurst Park club in July 2016 from the Toon following their relegation from the top-flight but Rafa Benitez has always been a keen admirer of his talents.

Matt Richie is set to be moved on this summer, paving the way for Townsend’s return to St James’s Park.

Palace are seeking at least £18 million (Dh87m) for his services, with that being significantly more than the amount they initially signed him for (£13m – Dh63m).

Townsend made 13 Premier League appearances, scoring four goals, during his short stint with Newcastle back in the 2015-16 campaign and instantly became a fans’ favourite.

Newcastle-bound? Andros Townsend.

 

LORIS KARIUS

The Liverpool goalkeeper looks set to have a future at Anfield after Roma reportedly priced the Merseysiders out of a move for top target Alisson.

According to The Sun, Jurgen Klopp’s men have ditched plans to sign the Brazil international shot-stopper this summer.

Roma are holding out for at least £65million for his services – more than Liverpool are willing to pay.

It means Karius, who made high-profile errors in May’s Champions League final against Real Madrid, could get a chance to resurrect his Kop career and retain the No.1 jersey.

Liverpool have though also been linked with Stoke City and England man Jack Butland.
