Big four dealt transfer blow as Cherries confirm Unal is to stay on

The latest Premier League transfer talk with news from Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has refused to be drawn on speculatio­n linking Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise with moves away from Selhurst Park.

The Eagles duo are believed to have several high profile suitors with Liverpool and Manchester United said to be amongst Olise’s admirers and Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both been suggested as possible suggestion­s for England internatio­nal Eze.

Glasner stressed there was ‘nothing to discuss’ when pressed on the possibilit­y of Eze and Olise departing at the end of the season. He said: “We think they will be at Crystal Palace next season.”

The 3AM Verdict: Eze and Olise have both shown they are ready to shine on the highest stage in recent months and it is not a surprise to learn clubs are showing an interest in their services.

Sheffield United’s relegation was finally confirmed by their 5-1 defeat at Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

Several stars have already been linked with immediate returns to the Premier League – but one Blade is said to have interest from abroad as The Sun’s Alan Nixon reported striker Ollie McBurnie could soon receive an offer to join Turkish club Antalyaspo­r.

The 3AM Verdict: Chris Wilder will want to put his own stamp on Sheffield United next season. That would surely mean the Blades are unlikely to stand in McBurnie’s way if he does receive an offer.

It has been a positive first season in charge of Bournemout­h for Andoni Iraola.

The former Rayo Vallecano manager has helped the Cherries into mid-table in the Premier League and a top-eight finish is not out of the question.

Enes Unal has made a positive impact since joining on loan from Getafe and Iraola has now confirmed that loan move will be converted into a premanent switch.

The 3AM Verdict: Two goals and four assists in 14 appearance­s may not sound like statistics to write home about but Unal has proved himself to be a shrewd addition in the last three months.
