Lots of Crystal Palace fans on Twitter are utterly bemused after a report linked Brighton and Hove Albion centre-back Lewis Dunk with a £45m move to Leicester City.

The central defender has spent his entire career with the south coast outfit – aside from a short loan spell with Bristol City – making 270 outings in all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing a further 11 assists.
