Crystal Palace is gearing up for their European campaign with a flurry of activity in the transfer market as the deadline approaches. Following the sale of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, the Eagles are looking to reinforce their squad before embarking on their Europa Conference League adventure.
The club has reportedly identified several targets to bolster their attacking options. Crystal Palace are reportedly in talks to sign Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson for a fee of around £15m. Oliver Glasner has earmarked Nelson as a potential option, as Palace are looking to bolster their attacking areas before deadline day.
According to journalist Ed Aarons, Crystal Palace is also nearing an agreement with Villarreal for Yeremy Pino, with a fee of up to £26 million. Furthermore, the club is reportedly interested in Liverpool winger Harvey Elliott and their former midfielder Conor Gallagher, who currently plays for Atletico Madrid.
Amidst the incoming transfer speculations, there are reports regarding the future of Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, who has been drawing comparisons to Luka Modric. Real Madrid is reportedly keeping tabs on Wharton, but his representatives prefer that he stays in England for at least another year. According to Ed Aarons, Wharton's representatives believe he should play another season in the Premier League with Palace. Aarons estimates Wharton's value at around €80 million, especially after the recent sale of Eze.
Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace admission speaks volumes ahead of Conference League test. Glasner previously confirmed that Eze would be starting the game. There were some doubts emerging about whether Eberechi Eze would play for Crystal Palace, amid reports of a deal agreed with Arsenal. It appears that a final decision has now been made. Arsenal will undoubtedly be delighted with the decision for Eze not to feature, as it would be a complete disaster if he suffered a serious injury before completing a move.
Crystal Palace fans are eagerly anticipating the new season and their team's performance in the Europa Conference League. The club's management is working hard to provide Glasner with the necessary resources to compete on both domestic and European fronts.
