Crystal Palace in new £170m talks to sell John Textor stake in bid to stay in Europa League
Crystal Palace are in talks to sell Eagle Football Group's 43 per cent stake in the club in a bid to clear the path for them to play in the Europa League next season. Minority stakeholder John Textor is considering offers for Eagle Football's stake in Palace, with New York Jets owner Woody Johnson among those in talks over a £170million deal. Advertisement A consortium of sport and entertainment executives, which includes the NBA star Jimmy Butler, is also expected to make an offer for Palace, according to the Atheltic. FA Cup winners Palace are facing the threat of expulsion from the Europa League because Textor also owns a majority stake in Ligue 1 side Lyon. New York Jets owner Woody Johnson (Getty Images) Although Textor has no day-to-day involvement in the running of Palace, UEFA rules prevent two teams with the same ownership playing in the same competition. But Textor is now ready to sell his stake in Palace and is considering sale offers. One offer has been tabled by New York Jets owner Johnson, who bought the NFL franchise in 2000 and is well-known in UK politics as a long-time Republican Party donor. Advertisement Another group that includes NBA star Butler is led by former Morgan Stanley sports executive Bejan Esmaili and former Roc Nation attorney Wajid Mir. NBA star Jimmy Butler (Getty Images) UEFA is set to inform Palace whether they are in breach of its multi-club ownership rules by June 30. But the matter may then be taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which would delay a final verdict.

Thomas Frank's to-do list at Tottenham Hotspur
Thomas Frank is set to become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, with the Brentford boss nearing a move across the capital. The Dane has won plenty of admirers during his time at Brentford, consolidating the West Londoners in the Premier League on a comparatively modest budget. He will inherit a Tottenham team who endured their lowest league finish since 1977, but who simultaneously ended a 17-year trophy drought with Europa League success. We've looked at five things in Thomas Frank's in-tray at Tottenham. Thomas Frank's to-do list at Tottenham Hotspur Sort recruitment focus – and quickly The change of manager already leaves Spurs behind the eight ball in this summer's window. The hesitancy to sack Ange Postecoglou following his European triumph means the North Londoners have lost ground on rival sides. In the mini-window opened ahead of the Club World Cup, Spurs failed to make a signing. Advertisement In contrast, Liam Delap (Chelsea), Matheus Cunha (Manchester United), Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders (all Manchester City) and Jeremie Frimpong (Liverpool) all moved to potential top-four rivals. Spurs need to strengthen in key areas and Frank has minimal time to assess his squad and targets. The transfer window re-opens on June 16th. Find solution to injury problems Spurs' season was decimated by injury problems last term, with only Brighton having more individual injuries (47) than the North Londoners (41). The Seagulls were also the only Premier League team to have a higher number of days lost to injuries (1,944 to 1,543). Advertisement Repetitive injuries plagued the club's campaign and Frank will need to review their medical record. Was this just bad luck? Or were Spurs victims of Ange Postecoglou's game plan? Can the club's recovery and training be improved? There's plenty to ponder. Make tough decisions on waning stars For all his critics, Ange Postecoglou has left Spurs in a good place for his successor. The North Londoners had the third-youngest squad in the Premier League last season, with only Brighton and Chelsea less experienced. The likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall will have benefitted from a baptism of fire last season, while academy product Mikey Moore is one for the future. Advertisement Frank faces tough calls on those at the other end of the scale. Rodrigo Bentancur's unavailability is a concern, while Son Heung-min has not looked the player of old. Many neutrals were happy to see Son finally get his hands on silverware, but could it be the ideal time to bow out? He scored just seven league goals last season and does not possess the same electricity as in previous years. Son is 33 next month and has spent a decade with Spurs. A call on the captain is a tough one. Bring Brentford strengths to North London Frank's data-focused methodology has won admirers, with a recent insight into Brentford's decisions in the final third fascinating. A clamp-down on speculative shooting and focus on probability helped Brentford become one of the most efficient teams in the league. Elsewhere, set-pieces were a real strong point. Last season, just three teams conceded more goals from set-pieces than Spurs. Brentford boasted the best record in the entire Premier League on his metric, conceding just twice from such situations. A clear area of improvement to target. Advertisement Read – Club World Cup: Five exciting young talents to watch See more – Florian Wirtz: What will record-breaker bring to Liverpool?

Union Saint-Gilloise consider move for cup-winning stalwart at Go Ahead Eagles
Enric Llansana (24) could leave Go Ahead Eagles and is enjoying concrete interest from Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise, according to Voetbal International's Joost Blaauwhof. Llansana was a stalwart in Go Ahead's cup-winning team last season and could sign a long-term contract, provided the clubs reach an agreement. This would give the Ajax-trained midfielder Champions League football next season, instead of the Europa League. Advertisement Last season, Llansana played 33 matches in the Eredivisie, scoring four goals for the Deventer side. He was on the pitch for 120 minutes in the cup final against AZ Alkmaar.
