Palace sign Loftus-Cheek

Crystal Palace have completed the loan signing of Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

The midfielder will spend the coming season at Selhurst Park.

He becomes Frank De Boer’s first summer signing.

I had the option of coming to Palace and I thought that it would be great for me.

I live not too far away, I was born in Lewisham and Palace is good club so I thought it’s a good chance to play here and be a part of the team.

They have a very strong team and I’d like to be a part of that this season.

Ozil wants to stay at Arsenal, talks about Sanchez's contract has dropped his clearest hint that he wants to stay at Arsenal

Germany midfielder Ozil has been locked in a contract stalemate as he is demanding £350,000-a-week to stay as he has only 12 months left on his current deal.

But Ozil insists it is still his “preference” to stay at Arsenal which would be a major boost as they are also in a similar situation with Alexis Sanchez.

Ozil said: “It is definitely my preference to stay, it is such a great club and I have always said that I feel very good at Arsenal.”

Liverpool eye Correa?

Liverpool are reportedly plotting a move for Atletico Madrid forward Angel Correa.

French outlet foot marcato reckon that the Reds have offered the 22-year-old a five-year deal worth £2.4million per season as they look to further bolster their options up front.

The Argentine netted eight times and provided 11 assists last season, often playing on the wing or in midfield.

A fee may be a sticking point however, with Atletico wanting £24.7million for him. Diego Simeone’s side are currently under a transfer ban, which means they would not be able to replace Correa during the current window.
