Crystal Palace may have ended their interest in Blues left-back Tyrone Mings, according to South London sources. The 21-year-old was being eyed by the Eagles with new manager Neil Warnock keen to add to his left-sided options.
Warnock is close to adding Tottenham left-back Zeki Fryers to his squad but is also understood to have been interested in bringing in Mings.
However, the Croydon Advertiser's Palace reporter has tweeted that the proposed switch now "could be off”.
The Eagles are also claimed to have renewed their January interest in Blues striker David McGoldrick, according to one of this morning’s national newspapers.
Twitter rumours claim Palace striker Glenn Murray could be part of a £5 million plus player deal, however, the 30-year-old has been tipped for a £1.5 million switch to Reading.
Palace are also reported to have made an enquiry regarding Leicester’s Chris Wood, who watched Town’s game at Derby on Saturday, leading to inevitable speculation that the New Zealand international could be a Town target if McGoldrick were to move on.
Yesterday’s second slightly increased Foxes bid for the 26-year-old frontman - a figure of £7 million has been reported - is understood to have been turned down but talks are believed to be continuing.
Blues owner Marcus Evans is said to be holding out for £8 million for last season’s 16-goal top scorer, while the Premier League side are reported to have indicated that they are looking at alternative additions to their strike force and the Leicester Mercury believes the deal is now "unlikely" to go through.
