Being a true recruitment guru, Dougie Freedman frequently finds Crystal Palace some amazing jewels. One such addition from last January was Adam Wharton, who cost the club £20 million but quickly proved to be a steal.
But in the recently concluded summer, individuals of this type were not brought in; instead, they were older and more seasoned players.
Due to the lack of signing of an intriguing Michael Olise successor, the Eagles are now in 18th place in the Premier League, which has probably affected their start to the season.
Currently, Crystal Palace is hoping to sign an 18-year-old Swedish player who is attracting their attention.
Crystal Palace was ready to battle for Bazoumana Toure’s signature.
Following Sarr’s signing, Crystal Palace focused on Bazoumana Toure, a Swedish player from Hammarby.
At the time, Toure was drawing interest from teams like Bayer Leverkusen, and ever since, he has only managed to draw the notice of some of Europe’s best players.
Fotboll Direkt claims that Celtic, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Benfica are all interested in Toure, in addition to Crystal Palace.
According to the Swedish newspaper, the teenager is “growing like crazy” at Hammarby after some “very strong development,” and Crystal Palace is keeping a close eye on him as a result.
Toure played 86 minutes in a 1-0 loss to AIK last weekend, and the Eagles even sent scouts to observe him in action.
What will Toure’s contract with Celtic and Dougie Freedman cost?
The Eagles will have to take some chances in order to sign Toure because there is no assurance that he will score goals and assist in English football.
Toure will probably end up being quite expensive by league standards because he is without a doubt the most well-known player in the Allsvenskan.
According to the article, Hammarby is reportedly looking for roughly €10 million (£8.4 million) in exchange for their Ivorian forward, who is attracting interest from other teams.
As the Hammarby season progresses in this calendar year, Toure has now tallied five goals and two assists. We predict that this total will only rise more if the claims made regarding his improvements come to pass.
