Crystal Palace eye Chérif and Cresswell amid Guehi doubts
Palace are in pole for Jørgen Strand Larsen with a £45m+£5m bid. Move could trigger Jean-Philippe Mateta’s exit after Forest’s £35m offer. Leeds and Forest monitor. Mendes leads talks.
Palace enquire for Toulouse’s Charlie Cresswell as they seek a Guehi replacement. Brighton and Wolfsburg bids rejected; Toulouse prefer summer sale. Leeds hold a 15% sell-on, boosting their PSR hopes.
Palace track Angers striker Sidiki Chérif, 19, but a right-ankle knock from Paris FC game means an MRI this week. Any issue could stall a January move amid links with Wrexham and Mateta uncertainty.
Palace and Villa agree loan for Evann Guessand, with €30m option to buy. The forward has 2 Europa League goals this season. Palace also target Jørgen Strand Larsen as Mateta nears departure.
