Crystal Palace’s move for legendary title winner hits the buffers

Oliver Glasner will surely be hoping that his Crystal Palace side begin the 2024/25 Premier League season as they ended the last campaign.

In their final seven games of 2023/24, they won six and drew one of those matches, and they included wins over Liverpool (0-1), West Ham (5-2), Newcastle (2-0), Manchester United (4-0), Wolverhampton Wanderers (1-3) and Aston Villa (5-0).

Such a magnificent run of form in the forthcoming campaign will arguably put the Eagles in amongst those clubs challenging for Europe, though they might find life difficult having lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and, potentially, Marc Guehi to Newcastle.

Wilfried Zaha’s Crystal Palace return not going ahead at present

Despite only playing a handful of games Zaha won the Turkish Super Lig title with Galatasaray, though it does now seem he is surplus to requirements.

Palace were known to be interested, but as CaughtOffside columnist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, advance on Friday evening, the move is currently off.
