As Crystal Palace close in on a loan deal for Chelsea’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Palace might have to contend with interest from the Premier League champions for Christian Benteke.
Reports from Sky Sports though feel Everton are the biggest threat to Palace keeping Benteke at Selhurst Park.
His 17 goals for Palace last season following his club record transfer have already seen him linked with Chelsea and Everton, flashing the cash around this summer and looking for a replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who joined Manchester United on Monday, could be in for him too.
This summer of spending has seen Sky sources claim Everton boss Ronald Koeman has made a move for the Belgium international, who could be ready to leave Palace after just one season.
Frank de Boer isn’t willing to let Benteke leave, according to the Daily Mail, which has also reported a Palace interest in Club Brugge defender Stefano Denswil.
Denswil, 24, played under de Boer at Ajax, attracting the attentions of Manchester United and AC Milan, but after falling out of favour he left for Belgium, where his form has brought rumoured interest from Monaco and Everton.
However, de Boer wants to give Denswil another chance and aims to work with him at Palace, if the defender is willing to forgive and forget too and join forces with him at Selhurst?
