It’s been suggested that Crystal Palace have pinpointed an ideal player to take the place of Eberechi Eze.
Eze, who is 27 years old, seems to be getting closer to a significant transfer to Premier League powerhouse Arsenal, with reports indicating that the two clubs have settled on a transfer fee of approximately £67.5 million.
However, with just over a week remaining in the summer transfer window, Oliver Glasner’s team has needed to act swiftly to secure a suitable replacement, with sources claiming that they have already taken action.
Crystal Palace reportedly keen on signing promising talent as replacement for Eberechi Eze
With Marc Guehi also potentially departing, Palace’s underwhelming recruitment has been exposed, considering they have only acquired two new players since their FA Cup triumph last season.
Only Borna Sosa and Walter Benitez have joined at Selhurst Park, but the Eagles may now be planning a significant move before the transfer window closes on September 1.
As reported by Give Me Sport, Palace are said to be preparing a substantial offer of £45m in an attempt to disrupt Everton’s rumored agreement for Southampton player Tyler Dibling.
The Toffees have reportedly been diligently pursuing the 19-year-old throughout the summer in their own efforts to bring him to Merseyside, but their proposals have been unsuccessful thus far.
Southampton are supposedly holding firm on their assessment of Dibling, placing his value at approximately £45m. However, Transfermarkt estimates the teenager’s worth at only €25m (£21.6m).
Will Still was unexpectedly questioned about whether Eze’s potential move to Arsenal poses a challenge to his plans to retain Dibling, to which he responded with a brutally candid answer.
“I don’t know!” he exclaimed during his press conference on Friday. “I have no clue, you’ll need to inquire with Crystal Palace, Arsenal, or Tottenham.
“Again, I encounter all of this information concurrently with you all, and I observed Sky Sports News at 8 o’clock this morning featuring ‘breaking news’. It simply is what it is.”
According to FourFourTwo‘s perspective, Palace will need to allocate a portion of their Eze funds promptly, although Dibling does present a degree of uncertainty considering his limited appearances in the Premier League.
Midfielder Justin Devenny could potentially fill Eze’s position, as he did against Fredrikstad, with the Northern Ireland international already generating excitement at Selhurst Park.
