Currently, Crystal Palace are among four Premier League teams yet to secure a win this season, with the momentum from last season’s strong finish under Glasner now a distant memory. Despite bringing in new attacking players, the club has only managed five goals so far. As they find themselves in the relegation zone, the upcoming matches before the November international break will be crucial in their attempt to move back towards midtable, where they were expected to finish.

Football Transfers reports that Crystal Palace is one of two Premier League clubs keeping a close eye on Lille forward Hakon Arnar Haraldsson. After making an impressive debut season in Ligue 1, the versatile forward has been likened to French star Antoine Griezmann due to his similar playing style, technical skills, and build. Both Tottenham and Palace have sent scouts to observe his performances, and Haraldsson’s strong early form, with two assists in seven matches, has piqued their interest.
Though sidelined with a broken foot, Haraldsson remains a top target. Largely positioned on the left wing, the Icelandic talent is seen as a possible successor to Eze, should the latter leave in search of European football. However, with a market value of €9 million and almost four years remaining on his £16,000-a-week contract at Lille, Haraldsson won’t come cheap. Palace may need to pay a premium, especially if they receive a significant fee for Eze.
