Transfer Notebook: Arsenal target Premier League rising star, Championship POTY on Man United’s radar, new deal for key Crystal Palace ace

The France Under-21 international also bagged goals home and away against the Gunners, capturing the attention of Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

Bournemouth signed Kroupi from sister club Lorient for a bargain £10million last February before loaning him back for the remainder of the season.

The likes of Manchester United and City have also been credited with an interest in the talented teen.

Sources with knowledge of the situation have told talkSPORT Kroupi is not believed to have a release clause in his contract.

Palace desperate to keep key man

Dean Henderson is in talks with Crystal Palace over a new contract, talkSPORT understands.

Henderson’s current deal is due to expire in the summer of 2028 but Palace are keen to extend his stay at Selhurst Park.

The 29-year-old played a starring role in last season’s FA Cup final triumph and has also been key to Palace’s run to the UEFA Conference League semi-finals.

Henderson has become a popular figure at Selhurst Park three years on from his £20m arrival from Manchester United.

He was made club captain when Marc Guehi was sold to Man City in January.

He has kept 11 clean sheets in 32 Premier League appearances this season.

Championship POTY set for big move?

Hayden Hackney will be a man in demand if Middlesbrough miss out on promotion to the Premier League.

Hackney was crowned Championship Player of the Year at last weekend’s EFL end of season awards.

His stellar form for his boyhood club has put Nottingham Forest, Everton, West Ham and newly-promoted Coventry on high alert.

The 23-year-old could even be a potential option for Manchester United, should Michael Carrick be named permanent manager, having starred under the ex-Boro coach at the Riverside Stadium.

Boro are one of four sides still vying for a top-two finish heading into the final week of the season.

Wolves target Rangers star

Rangers captain James Tavernier is on Wolves’ radar after announcing he will quit Ibrox at the end of the season.

Boss Rob Edwards sees Tavernier, 34, as the type of character who can help lead Wolves back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

The right-back is leaving Rangers after 11 years with the Scottish giants and also has interest from Saudi Arabia.
