Crystal Palace are battling with Aston Villa to sign the Brentford striker Ollie Watkins and have offered a contract to Ryan Fraser, who is a free agent after leaving Bournemouth.
Watkins could be allowed to leave Brentford after their defeat by Fulham in the Championship play-off final on Tuesday but the club would demand more than £20m. The 24-year-old striker ended the season with 26 goals in 50 games and is regarded as one of the best talents in the Championship.

At the top end of Bielsa’s team, Leeds see several options in the Championship which would fit nicely. They rate Brentford’s Ollie Watkins — the division’s second-highest scorer this term with 25 regular-season goals, behind Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic — and see qualities in him which would suit Bielsa’s tactics: strong link-up play, slick finishing and a clear contribution to a high expected goals figure. He contributes in similar ways to Bamford, but with a considerably better conversion rate.
