Palace European hopes boosted

Crystal Palace's hopes of playing in Europe next season appear to have been boosted with John Textor selling his 43-percent stake in the club.

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson will buy his shares - with the deal eliminating the risk of Palace breaching UEFA's multi-club ownership rules.

Textor holds shares in French club Lyon - who will also play in the Europa League next season.

Once the deal is approved by the Premier League, Palace's place in the competition should be confirmed.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have agreed a deal to sign Argentine goalkeeper Walter Benitez once his contract expires at PSV Eindhoven at the end of the month.

Leeds have completed the signing of Slovenian defender Jaka Bijol from Udinese.

Celtic legend John Clark has died at the age of 84.

He was part of the side that went on to be known as the Lisbon Lions after they won the European Cup in the Portuguese city by beating Inter Milan in 1967.
