Crystal Palace are in talks to sign West Ham midfielder Soungoutou Magassa in the summer transfer window.

Palace’s transfer business has started to heat up over the last week or so, announcing three new additions in quick succession.

Dwight McNeil, Anan Khalaili, and Zavier Gozo have all recently arrived through the door to improve Palace’s wide options, and they are the first three additions the Eagles have paid for.

Pierre Sage’s first two signings of the summer transfer window were to bring in Oscar Mingueza and Takehiro Tomiyasu on free transfers, improving their defensive options.

Their business doesn’t appear to be over just yet, but we’re just one day away from Premier League action returning for Palace.

They travel to Merseyside on Saturday to face Everton, searching for their first victory away at the Toffees since 2014.

Journalist Fabrice Hawkins has confirmed that Crystal Palace are now pushing to sign Magassa from West Ham this summer.

The Hammers are believed to have been in contact with Palace over a potential deal, and the Eagles are now looking to get a move completed.

Magassa is keen on joining Palace in the summer transfer window, with negotiations ongoing. Several other clubs are interested, but Palace are pushing to secure his signature.

Aston Villa are close to reaching an agreement to sign Jake Doughty from Everton, according to The Athletic.

It’s been a huge summer transfer window in terms of young players moving between the academies, certainly more than in any usual summer.

Clubs are looking at opportunities to bring in talents for the future without paying astronomical fees, hoping they develop into something special.

According to a report from The Athletic, Aston Villa are close to an agreement to sign Doughty from Everton, with the Midlands club completing the final steps to sign the 16-year-old.

Doughty has featured at England youth level up to the under-16s, while he’s also been involved with Everton’s under-18 side last season.

Villa have been searching for a new academy winger after Heaven Kilwa rejected a contract and has now left the club.
