According to a recent rumor, Crystal Palace is reportedly in the lead to acquire a Champions League defender to take Marc Guehi’s place.
The South London team has been incredibly busy during the summer transfer window, and it looks like they will stay that way as Friday’s deadline approaches. Oliver Glasner’s team has had a difficult start to the season, as they have lost both of their first two games—the most recent coming on Saturday against West Ham.
Palace’s focus will now be on what they can accomplish in the final few days of the window before they gear up for their third straight match against a London team, when they take on Chelsea on Sunday.
News on the Crystal Palace move
This transfer window has seen Crystal Palace add four players so far: Ismaila Sarr from Marseille, Louie Moulden from Wolves, Daichi Kamada from Lazio, and Chadi Riad from Real Betis. Glasner will be hoping that these additions bolster his team and keep them from finishing bottom of the table.

The Premier League team now seems to be closing close on signing Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah, so it appears that the club’s business isn’t ending there. Arsenal are poised to accept Palace’s offer, which is rumored to have been for £25 million plus £5 million in add-ons.
Crystal Palace has been connected to a deal to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Rayan Ait-Nouri in addition to their pursuit of Nketiah from Arsenal. The Premier League team is rumored to value their defense at £30 million.
This implies that the South London team will be looking to replace him, and it looks like they are in the running to recruit a winner of both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Crystal Palace is now in the lead to sign Joe Gomez.
Joe Gomez, a defender for Liverpool, is reportedly the target of Crystal Palace, who are now winning the fight to sign him during this transfer window, according to Daveockop.
According to the article, Gomez is a player who is anticipated to leave Anfield, with manager Arne Slot likely to reduce the 27-year-old’s playing time. Gomez is lower on the hierarchy than Jarell Quansah, Ibrahima Konate, and Virgil van Dijk.
If a fair offer comes in, Liverpool is not going to stand in the way of Gomez leaving the team. The dominoes are likely to fall as soon as Guehi’s move to Newcastle picks up speed.
Throughout his career, the England international has been showered with accolades; former Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate called the player “superb” after he made an impression early in his career.
