Crystal Palace desperately need a forward – so who are they targeting and why?
New York TimesFor Crystal Palace, there is no doubting the priority for the remaining eight days of this summer’s transfer window: find a forward. It is the latter who has found himself in Roy Hodgson’s plans since his return as manager late last season, but while there have been signs of improvement in his all-round game in the two fixtures of 2023-24 so far, the need for a new striker is clear, especially with RB Leipzig interested in taking Mainz old boy Mateta back to the German Bundesliga. Johnson’s pace and direct running were a frequent source of threat last season, with 11 Premier League goal involvements as he played in all 38 league matches, starting all but five of them. Crysencio Summerville Palace have held interest in Summerville this summer and would benefit from signing another wide player, having lost Zaha and replaced him only with Franca, another raw talent at age 19. Age: 22 Balogun is not one Palace are currently looking at and he has been linked with clubs of greater resources and stature, but he certainly fits their recruitment model: young, talented but in need of regular minutes at a club where he can prove himself further, following an excellent 22-goal loan in France’s top division with Reims last season.
