Ben Johnson to deliver Rangers transfer snub as Premier League rivals set to land West Ham star

Although the 24-year-old’s representatives are said to have had discussions with the Ibrox team,

it appears that he will stay in the top division in England.

West Ham United full-back Ben Johnson is expected to sign with Crystal Palace,

giving Rangers a transfer snub.

The 24-year-old, who graduated from the Hammers development program,

is free to leave the Londoners in the summer after allegedly having discussions with the Light Blues through his representatives.

However, Record Sport has learned that Johnson is virtually definitely on his way to Crystal Palace,

a rival team in the English Premier League in London,

where he will make his debut as the Eagles’ new manager, Oliver Glasner.

Naturally, Glasner was the one who caused Rangers’ Europa League agony as he guided Eintracht Frankfurt to the decisive victory over Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team in Seville two years prior.

With Johnson on the verge of committing to Palace, he will aim to add his own touch to the squad during his first transfer window this summer.

He has had a great start to life in England since taking over for Roy Hodgson.

Daniel Munoz, a Colombian right defender, cost Palace over £7 million, and they are still eager to bolster that position, with Johnson being the player they desire.

After rejecting a rival team’s January inquiry for the player,

West Ham is now powerless to keep him from leaving due to allegations that his salary demands were too great for him to sign a contractextension with David Moyes’ team.

He is now lower on the Hammers’ priority list than Vladimir Coufal, the team’s first-choice right back.

According to The Athletic, Philippe Clement has begun talks with Coufal to bring him to Govan on a free transfer in June, which is just one week after Record Sport revealed that James Tavernier is an old boss Steven Gerrard’s target at Al-Ettiaq.

According to the source,

there are several clubs who are interested,

including Rangers.

The representatives of the 24-year-old have had discussions with the Scottish team,

and he has also drawn interest from Leeds United of the Championship and Crystal Palace.”
