Crystal Palace line up £40m-rated AC Milan star Strahinja Pavlovic in Marc Guehi replacement transfer
OLIVER GLASNER will make a new move to sign AC Milan's Strahinja Pavlovic with the Italian club wanting £40million. The Crystal Palace boss thinks the powerful Serb would be an ideal addition with Europe on the agenda next term.

Glasner is a huge fan of Pavlovic's — who was a regular in Milan's Serie A and Champions League campaigns — so it is an ambitious target. He scored two goals and provided just as many assists in 35 appearances from centre-back this term.

Russell Martin wants to reunite with Southampton star at Rangers as boss eyes swoop – with EPL left-back also interested
The manager was quizzed on James Tavernier's future FLYING FLYNN Russell Martin wants to reunite with Southampton star at Rangers as boss eyes swoop – with EPL left-back also interested NEW Rangers boss Russell Martin wants to raid old club Southampton for highly-rated Flynn Downes. But he could be priced out of a move, with relegated Saints demanding at least £10million for the classy playmaker. Advertisement 3 The clock is already ticking for Russell Martin to get his transfer business done Credit: Willie Vass 3 Flynn Downes is on his radar Credit: Getty Martin took Downes to St Mary's from West Ham, having also managed him at Swansea. The 26-year-old could fancy a crack at the Premiership instead of a return to England's second tier with Saints. But Martin will get no favours from his old club over the fee. He will be busy in the transfer market after being handed £20m to overhaul the squad. Advertisement Left-back Harry Toffolo is set to quit Nottingham Forest and is interested in a switch to Ibrox after playing only a handful of games late last season. Martin will inherit Jefte and Ridvan Yilmaz as left-backs, but the Turk has been heavily linked with a return home. Veteran Leicester City defender Conor Coady is also on Gers' radar. Meanwhile, Gers boss Martin insists he has no plans to strip James Tavernier of the Rangers captaincy. Advertisement He said: 'He's been the captain for a very long time. If he's playing, I don't see any reason to change that. And if he's not playing, it will force someone else. 'First and foremost, I want to speak to him to explain to me and have a discussion about the last two years, his thoughts on the team. SunSport reporters clash over Russell Martin as he's revealed as new Rangers boss 'His thoughts on what we're going to bring and how the players will feel about that. 'To play here as long as he has, to be captain as long as he has, takes a lot of energy. It's not easy. Advertisement 'I've been at a club where sometimes the one that's been there longest ends up getting criticised a lot because you've been there the longest. 'Then how much he gets used on the pitch will be down to Tav and how he trains and how he plays, the same as every player. 'But he's going to be hugely important in the culture here. 3 Advertisement 'I know what he's like as a person behind the scenes and he's fantastic. 'He was when I played with him and hopefully it hasn't beaten him up too much. It doesn't seem like it has. 'He still seems like he plays with a big smile and a lot of enthusiasm. 'It does carry a big weight to be captain of a club this size. He's done it incredibly well. Advertisement 'How much he plays on the pitch, I can't sit here and tell you he's going to play 50 games, 20 games, whatever. 'It will be down to him in the way he performs and the way he buys into it, which I'm pretty sure he will.' Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Thomas Tuchel is right to ignore tedious talk of burn-out by calling up Chelsea stars for latest England squad, writes DANNY MURPHY
Five Chelsea players are in Thomas Tuchel 's England squad, squeezing in games against Andorra and Senegal between winning a European final and competing at the Club World Cup. They will resume the Premier League in mid-August and go again for 11 months, culminating in the real World Cup. Given the schedule, it's been suggested Tuchel should have allowed Reece James, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Noni Madueke and Trevor Chalobah to spend time with their families rather than calling them up. I'm firmly on the England manager's side. His responsibility is to win the World Cup, not protect clubs about to play in an additional tournament in America for greed. Physically, England's double-header won't demand a lot of intensity from the players and it's a rare chance to spend a full week together in the Spanish sunshine and benefit the squad in terms of camaraderie. Having the Chelsea boys involved is a help, not a hindrance, to our chances of glory next year. They will get a chance to disengage mentally after the Club World Cup and I think the other arguments regarding player welfare and too many games are overblown. I find the argument about player burn-out a bit tedious, and I speak as someone who experienced the demands of competing at a high level. With the size and strength of squads these days, very few players are used in every minute of every match. Palmer, for example, sat out Chelsea's group fixtures in Europe and the Conference League final was only his 48th game of the season for club and country — not excessive or likely to cause fatigue. There has never been a better time to be a footballer. With the facilities and sport science available to them, no stone is left unturned when looking after them physically and mentally. Tuchel doesn't have any obligation to alter his plans to accommodate the Club World Cup, a contrived competition which is more exciting to those clubs raking in prize-money than the players themselves. For Palmer and the other Chelsea lads, having spent a week in Barcelona, going to the Spanish Grand Prix and enjoying a barbecue before a game against Andorra won't be draining or detrimental to next season. If any of them do start to feel sorry for themselves, they should look at Mo Salah and Lionel Messi as two examples of top professionals who are always available and able to maintain exceptional standards. And if Chelsea are concerned about some of their players next season, they can give them time off at the start of the Premier League, as Pep Guardiola has done for Manchester City. What would have been unfair is Tuchel making concessions and not picking his strongest squad. The manager has very limited time with his players and this has been an important week for Team England, off the pitch as much as on it as manager and team-mates get to know each other properly. He has shown a single-mindedness I think augurs well for the World Cup.
