Southampton are reportedly interested in signing Angus Gunn but should Crystal Palace consider competing for the Manchester City goalkeeper?

Southampton are chasing Manchester City’s Angus Gunn and are ready to pay up to £15m to sign the goalkeeper, according to the Daily Mail.

Gunn impressed while on loan in the Championship with Norwich City last season and now the Saints are looking to bring him to St Mary’s.

Manager Mark Hughes has doubts over Fraser Forster and wants competition for both him and Alex McCarthy between the posts.

Anyone else in the chase?

Leeds United had been strongly linked with Gunn, but the Yorkshire Evening Post reports they have dropped their interest in favour of signing David Stockdale from Birmingham City instead.

Beyond that competition for the 22-year-old’s signature is minimal, but should Crystal Palace consider making a move themselves as they revamp the ‘keeper department?

Vicente Guaita is set to join from Getafe, while Wayne Hennessey, Julian Speroni and Diego Cavalieri are all out of contract.

Football.london says that Cavalieri will leave, but Hennessey and Speroni are both in negotiations over new deals to extend their stay at Selhurst Park.

The latter is stalwart at the club and appears content as third choice as he approaches his 40th birthday, but could Gunn be a better option as competition for Guaita than Hennessey?
