Crystal Palace linked with £40million bid for Watford star

Crystal Palace are being linked with a move for Watford’s Ismaila Sarr – if they cash in on Wilfried Zaha this summer.

Eagles manager Roy Hodgson recently made it clear that Zaha still wants to quit the SE25 outfit.

And The Sun claim that Palace are ready to break their transfer fee with a £40million bid for Sarr, who is likely to be available following the Hornets’ relegation.

The paper says that Sarr was on the Eagles’ list of targets before the Senegalese attacker made a £30m move from Rennes to Vicarage Road.

Palace are also thought to be in the mix for Bournemouth’s David Brooks.
