Nottingham Forest have stepped up security measures for their players ahead of today’s clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The so-called “El CASico” comes on the back of UEFA’s ruling that saw Palace relegated from the Europa League, while Forest got promoted instead. The Metropolitan Police have also increased their presence as tensions rise between the two sides.
Tottenham have launched a bid to sign Leicester star Bilal El Khannouss just when Crystal Palace believed they had convinced the youngster to join them.
Eberechi Eze revealed an Arsenal legend who was his favourite player growing up as the Crystal Palace talisman prepares to complete a £67.5 million ($90m) transfer to the Emirates this weekend.

A mural of Eberechi Eze painted on a wall near the Emirates Stadium ahead of his imminent transfer to Arsenal from Crystal Palace has been defaced after vandals hurled white paint across it.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has dismissed suggestions that the Gunners’ swoop for Eberechi Eze was triggered by Kai Havertz’s injury setback.

Marc Guehi did little to calm transfer links to Liverpool after Crystal Palace's 1-0 victory over Fredrikstad on Thursday night.

But with Guehi potentially walking away for nothing next summer, the Premier League champions are determined not to overpay.
Crystal Palace talisman Eberechi Eze is heading to Arsenal in a blockbuster £67.5 million deal, and manager Oliver Glasner has made no attempt to hide his fury at how the saga has unfolded, leaving them with little time to find a replacement.

Arsenal are on the verge of signing Tottenham target Eberechi Eze. The Gunners are now negotiating the terms of the transfer with the Eagles and are expected to finalise a deal to sign the England international very soon.
