Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has revealed he wants at least two more purchases this summer.
The Eagles have missed Joachim Andersen to Premier League rivals Fulham and Jordan Ayew has completed his switch to Leicester. Our paper stated that Palace had agreed an £8million fee with Leicester for Ayew, with the 32-year-old bringing a medical ahead of a permanent switch on Thursday. Fulham accomplished their £30million deal Andersen on Friday afternoon. Ayew was disclosed as a Leicester player on Friday evening.
Olise had been transferred to Bayern Munich for around £50 million. This summer, young players David Ozoh and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi received loans out to the Championship. James Tomkins and Jairo Riedewald had been both let go at the end of last season. Daichi Kamada, Ismaila Sarr, and Chadi Riad have all joined together. “It’s just a little bit of math,” Glasner remarked when asked the number of participants he’d like to sign before the market closes on August 30.
“We currently have Jes and David on loan. We did not extend Jairo and Tomkins’ contracts. “We sold one, perhaps two more. We lost seven members from the squad and added three. more, but it’s evident that we need to add at least two players to the team.” Ayew appeared 212 times for the South Londoners, scoring 23 goals and providing 22 assists across all competitions.
The Danish winger featured 113 games for the Eagle while coming from Lyon in 2021, but is ready for an enormous wage boost with his decision to return to Craven Cottage this summer. According to our sources of information, Andersen’s new Fulham contract pays him comfortably in the six figures – a fee that might have made him Palace’s highest earner if they had matched it. Glasner continued,
The players are the most vital component to me. No trade is going to be made until the participant says yes. We want every single player present to say, ‘I want to be a part of this group. I wish to take part in this journey. “If a player proclaims they wish to leave for any purpose (sports, better club, more money), or in the family. If a player says: ‘Maybe it’s not, at this time, the right club for me – I would like to change something.
