Crystal Palace ‘learn bargain asking price’ after missing out on ‘target’ on Man Utd ace
Crystal Palace are looking to make a bid for West Ham United midfielder in the summer transfer window.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Oliver Glasner really wants to bring the 23-year-old midfielder to Selhurst Park.
The transfer guru has also suggested that the Eagles will decide soon whether to sign Ryan Sessegnon on a free transfer.
Journalist Edmund Brack reported on 18 July that Palace are planning to offer him a contract after the left-back played in a friendly game against AFC Bournemouth.
However, it is the thought of signing Smith Rowe that should excite the Palace fans.
Premier League rivals Fulham made an offer, but the Gunners swiftly rejected it. Now, the Eagles are ready to try their luck.
The Times reported earlier this week that Palace will need to pay a fee of around around £30 million to sign the attacking midfielder.
Romano wrote on X: “Understand Crystal Palace are set to bid for Emile Smith-Rowe. Fulham had proposal rejected by Arsenal this week and Palace now set to try, as Oliver Glasner really wants him.
“Crystal Palace will also decide soon whether they will sign Ryan Sessegnon or not.”
The Premier League clubs are starting to use their weight as the summer transfer window begins to unravel. Euro 2024 and Copa América have caused a delay in business this summer, but we are now starting to see more and more deals get done, which should be no surprise.
There is no stopping Premier League clubs from spending money, and that also applies to the London clubs, who have spent significantly year on year. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League.
Crystal Palace have been linked with a move for Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson this summer. The winger has been made available after struggling to nail down a first team place under Mikel Arteta, while the Gunners are also looking to make space to spend again this summer.
According to The Telegraph, Nelson will be available for between £15million and £20million this summer, and that will give Palace a chance to replace Michael Olise on the cheap. West Ham have also been linked with a move for the winger this summer.
Manchester United are said to have missed out on a deal to sign talented Portuguese star Joao Neves, with the Benfica man reportedly deciding to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Record claim PSG have all-but wrapped up a deal that will see Neves make the switch to the French capital for £59million plus add-ons. Benfica were previously asking for as much as £101million, according to reports. Neves said earlier this season: “My desire at the moment is to remain at Benfica. After that I can’t promise anything.” But with PSG offering significant cash to complete a deal, it looks as though the situation is out of his hands, and an ambitious young player, he will surely jump at the chance to join PSG in any case.
