Leicester City are reportedly eyeing deals for the West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace players.
Leicester City manager Claude Puel is continuing to push for the signing of West Bromwich Albion defender Jonny Evans, and has lodged enquiries for Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend, according to the Daily Mail (liveblog entry 15:36).
The report claims Evans has a £3 million buyout clause following West Brom’s relegation, but adds that his representatives want a sizeable commission.
And despite their alleged interest in Townsend, Leicester still hope to complete a deal for Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts, according to the Daily Mail.
The report does not state whether the Crystal Palace player is being sought in addition to, or instead of, the Roberts.
Leicester have released Robert Huth this summer, creating a vacancy at the heart of their defence, while winger Riyad Mahrez is the focus of fresh interest from Manchester City (Daily Telegraph).
Crystal Palace, where Townsend remains under contract until 2021, have also been linked with a move for West Brom’s Evans (Daily Mirror).
