Man Utd’s Dean Henderson to spark transfer merry-go-round with two more keepers set for Premier League switches

CRYSTAL PALACE’S pursuit of Dean Henderson is set to trigger a transfer merry-go-round, Sun Sport can reveal.

Henderson’s move to Selhurst Park could put keeper Sam Johnstone’s place in jeopardy.

Wolves are going to bid for Johnstone once Crystal Palace sign Henderson.

Johnstone, 30, forced his way into Roy Hodgson’s side and had seen off the challenge of Vicente Guaita to be No 1.

But now England keeper Henderson, 26, is set to join the Eagles on a permanent move from Manchester United —  as we first revealed.

Henderson was a substitute during United’s win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, and will undertake a medical over the weekend.

That has put Wolves on red alert for a swoop of current Palace stopper Johnstone ahead of Friday’s deadline.

And to complicate matters further, Wolves keeper Jose Sa could also be switching clubs.

Sa is in the sights of Nottingham Forest after they failed to land Henderson, and could be available at the right price.

His form has been mixed and Wolves’ new keeper coach Neil Cutler worked with Johnstone before.

Palace do not want to lose Johnstone but might do so for a decent fee after landing Henderson.

But Forest moving for Sa would speed up the process — and see a remarkable late change of keepers at THREE Premier League clubs.

United are set to buy Fenerbahce’s Altay Bayindir for £4.3m as Henderson’s replacement.

Forest, meanwhile, want to recoup the £10million they paid Huddersfield for Lewis O’Brien — which is a problem for Leeds who want to loan the midfielder, 24, and buy if they go up.
