Crystal Palace tipped to beat Everton to winger target with ‘contract sent’ to ex-Prem star
Crystal Palace are reportedly ‘pushing’ to sign long-term Everton target Ismaila Sarr as they prepare for their first full season under Oliver Glasner.
The Eagles finished last season strongly under the 49-year-old coach by winning five of their final six matches, but keeping that up will be a challenge.
The Eagles have sold Michael Olise to Bayern Munich for £50m and Glasner is looking to bring in a new winger to replace him, with the former Watford man on his shortlist.
They are also at risk of losing England star Eberechi Eze amid serious interest from Tottenham, while Marc Guehi is being chased by Liverpool and Adam Wharton is generating serious interest.
Palace would generate some serious cash if the trio are sold though and putting that to good use will be key to how they perform in the coming campaign.
They have already brought in defender Chadi Riad and attacking midfielder Daichi Kamada and now a new winger is next on Glasner’s list of priorities.
According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Palace have sent a ‘contract proposal’ to Sarr, with new Marseille boss Roberto de Zerbi willing to sell the Senegalese international this summer.
