Rumour Reel: Pep prepares PSV’s Zoet as Hart replacement at Etihad

The Eagles had been keen on landing the Anfield attacker but now have Baggies poacher Berahino firmly in their sights, with the former England Under-21 frontman set to be the subject of a £20m offer soon.

Alan Pardew’s men struggled domestically at the back end of last term, but managed to reach the FA Cup final where they lost out to Manchester United, and the Palace boss is looking to add some much-needed firepower up top.

Berahino fits the bill perfectly and could provide the London outfit with a new attacking threat, having already seen a host of forwards recently depart, including Dwight Gayle (sold to Newcastle United), Marouane Chamakh (released) and Emmanuel Adebayor (released).

Baggies trying to land Schlupp

Meanwhile, West Brom are in hot pursuit of Leicester City’s Premier League title-winning full back Jeffrey Schlupp this summer, with Tony Pulis’ Baggies having reportedly offered their top tier rivals £9m for the 23-year-old.

Pulis has identified left back as his problem position and is hopeful of securing the Ghana international defender’s signature as a resolution, with Schlupp potentially set to become their second signing of the summer.

Such a move would follow up on the arrival of former QPR wideman Matt Phillips, who joined for £5m, with Schlupp having impressed at the end of last term during the historic top-flight title victory.
