Arsenal face battle race to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze
Bayern Munich will go head-to-head with Arsenal in the race to sign Eberechi Eze. Arsenal, who are due to announce the signing of Viktor Gyökeres imminently, remain desperate for the Crystal Palace star. Mikel Arteta sees him as the 'final piece in the jigsaw' in a new-look line-up that the Spaniard hopes will see the Gunners finally win the Premier League. But The Sun reports that Arsenal face a major battle to land Eze in the shape of the German champions. Bayern's manager Vincent Kompany wants to reunite Eze with former teammate Michael Olise, as he plots an all-out assault on the Champions League. Bayern have just lost Jamal Musiala to a broken leg and dislocated ankle and they have shortlisted Eze as they seek to strengthen their attack. The German giants missed out on Florian Wirtz to Liverpool. They have also lost both Leroy Sané and Thomas Müller. As a result they are also said to be exploring a deal for out-of-favour Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku. Eze has a £68m release clause and is attracting interest this summer after a stellar season in which he scored the winner for Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final. The 27-year-old scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists for Palace last season and also netted his first England goal in a 3-0 win over Latvia in March. With Arsenal yet to make an official bid for Eze, Bayern could swoop. * Manchester United's five outcasts have all been called back to work – but they will only train once the rest of the squad have gone home. Ruben Amorim decided 10 days ago that Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia should stay away from first team training. They were given extra time off to find new clubs – but as yet nothing has been finalised. * Morgan Gibbs-White has reported to Nottingham Forest for pre-season training despite heavy links to Tottenham in recent days. * Newcastle have submitted a club-record £69.5million bid for Hugo Ekitike.

Odsonne Edouard 'available' as Celtic told Calvert Lewin transfer rules with striker search surging beyond two deals
Brendan Rodgers looks to be ramping up his transfer business having already brought two former stars back to Celtic Park this summer Celtic hero Odsonne Edouard has reportedly been "made available" by Crystal Palace this summer. Brendan Rodgers kickstarted the Frenchman's career in Glasgow's east end before his big money move to the Premier League - but he has found himself surplus to requirements at Selhurst Park with the Hoops' in the midst of striker transfer search. Benjamin Nygren, Callum Osmand and Hayato Inamura are the new faces in the door so far with reports suggesting Cercle Brugge left-back Flavio Nazinho could be on his way - while both Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan have returned to Celtic Park. But a striker remains on the agenda amid recurring links over a return to Parkhead for the 27-year-old. After managing just eight appearances last season during a loan spell at Leicester City, The Athletic report that Edouard is "not part of Palace's plans" and "will be available if deals can be agreed." Shin Yamada is expected to arrive at Celtic Park with reports in Japan suggesting that he will jet into Glasgow following his international commitments at the E1-Championship. They will conclude the tournament when they face South Korea on Wednesday. Napoli ' striker Giuseppe Ambrosino is also attracting interest from Serie A new boys Cremonese and the Scottish Premiership champions this summer. The Hoops have been tracking Ambrosino, who found the target for Italy U21s in their European Championship quarter final defeat to Germany. But after impressing at the tournament, La Repubblica state that Antonio Conte will take a look at the striker before green lighting an exit after he reported for pre-season training on Monday. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has also bee touted as a target after the 28-year-old's Everton contract expired. Reports suggest Sunderland are currently in pole position to land the free agent but face a challenge from Scotland with the England international "attracting attention" from the Hoops while a surprise switch to Manchester United has been touted. But the Celtic board are likely to scoff at the mega money that the frontman has reportedly demanded. Caught Offside claim that the player's representatives have told suitors their client will "ask for as much as £100,000 per week.'

Crystal Palace demoted to Uefa Conference League for multi-club breach
Crystal Palace are expected to appeal the verdict to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. (AFP pic) LONDON : Crystal Palace have been demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League by Uefa for a breach of multi-club ownership rules, European football's governing body confirmed on Friday. US businessman John Textor owns a stake in the Eagles and is the majority owner of French club Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League. Under Uefa multi-club ownership rules, Lyon have been allowed to keep their place in the second-tier competition of European football as they finished higher in Ligue 1 (6th) than Palace (12th) in the Premier League last season. Palace qualified for European competition for the first time by winning the FA Cup in May – the club's first ever major trophy. Textor has since agreed to sell his 43% stake in the London club to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson. However, that deal is yet to be completed and was struck well after Uefa's deadline of March 1 for multi-club conflicts to be resolved. A decision on Palace's fate had been delayed by a separate case that initially saw Lyon relegated to the second tier of French football due to financial problems. The seven-time French champions won an appeal against that decision on Wednesday after Textor stood aside from the day-to-day running of the club. Palace are expected to appeal the verdict to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Parish told Sky Sports: 'We are obviously devastated, most importantly for the supporters. Supporters of all clubs should be devastated for it. 'It is a bad day for football,' Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish declared. 'Most right-minded football fans will see what a terrible injustice this is for the football club and one that I hope someone can remedy because I do believe that nobody in football wants to see this – I don't think Uefa want to see it,' he told Sky Sports. Nottingham Forest, who had qualified for the Conference League by finishing seventh in the Premier League last season, will replace Palace in the Europa League, a Uefa source told AFP.
