Crystal Palace, Watford and Brighton & Hove Albion are interested in signing Lee Grant from Stoke City in the summer transfer window, according to The Sunday People (print edition, page 51, May 14, 2017).

Grant joined Stoke from Derby County in January 2017 on a permanent contract for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £1.3 million.

The former England Under-21 international’s current contract with the Potters runs until June 2019, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

The 34-year-old goalkeeper has lost his place in the Stoke starting lineup following the recovery of Jack Butland.

According to The Sunday People (print edition, page 51, May 14, 2017), Palace, Watford and Brighton all want to sign Grant in the summer transfer window.

Grant has shown this season that despite being 34 years of age, he is still good enough for the Premier League.

Palace, Watford or Brighton would be making a smart signing if they recruit the former Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley goalkeeper in the summer transfer window.
