Before the summer transfer window closes, Crystal Palace hopes to add a few players to Selhurst Park.
The Eagles have now dropped two straight Premier League games, and last week’s loss to West Ham made it abundantly evident that the team needs reinforcements.
Eddie Nketiah, an Arsenal striker, has been linked to Palace, but they are also seeking to add a defender.
Joachim Andersen, who joined Fulham for an estimated £30 million, was sold by the Eagles this month.
Maxence Lacroix of Wolfsburg is the target of an offer from Palace for up to £14 million, although they are also exploring other possibilities.
Trevoh Chalobah, a defender for Chelsea, is another player that Palace is eager to sign, according to a South London Press article.
Dougie Freedman, the Sporting director of the team, is eager to sign the 25-year-old defender, who is no longer needed by the team.
Enzo Maresca does not have him in his plans, and the Blues would be more than willing to let him go, ideally for good.
He was not included in Chelsea’s preseason trips, and he has not yet participated in any Premier League games this year.
He was praised as a “exceptional” player by Todd Boehly, and Chelsea offered him a long-term contract that would keep him with the team until 2028 with a one-year option to extend.
It makes sense for Glasner to sign someone with Premier League experience, given Palace is likely to hold onto Marc Guehi until Newcastle makes a huge offer that is in line with their valuation.
Following his advancement through the club’s youth academy, Chalobah has played for the team in 80 Premier League games. Even though his fitness might be a problem, Palace can try to sign him for next summer on a loan.
