# Crystal Palace: Eagles eye Sierralta

**Crystal Palace and West Ham United are two clubs that are thought to be interested in Watford centre-back Francisco Sierralta.**

According to [Enzo Olivera](https://twitter.com/ExpressFutbolCL/status/1374076533321703424?s=20), four Premier League clubs want to land the 23-year-old, with the Eagles and the Hammers two of the interested parties name-checked by [Last Word on Sports](https://lastwordonsports.com/football/2021/03/24/four-premier-league-francisco-sierralta/).

### Sierralta’s Watford breakthrough

Sierralta made the move to [Vicarage Road back in September from Udinese](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/francisco-sierralta/profil/spieler/371436) but had to remain patient for an opportunity in the Championship.

His [first second-tier start came on Boxing Day in the 1-0 win over Norwich](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/francisco-sierralta/leistungsdaten/spieler/371436) and the [Chile international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/francisco-sierralta/profil/spieler/371436) has been a regular for the Hornets ever since.

### Transfer Tavern take

Sierralta is valued at just [£450,000 by Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/francisco-sierralta/profil/spieler/371436), which, to us, seems to be a relatively low figure for a South American international who will turn 24 in May.

He has experience of playing in Serie A and Primera Division and will have [just 12 months remaining on his Watford contract in the summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/francisco-sierralta/profil/spieler/371436).

Palace have just [one centre-back under the age of 30](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/kader/verein/873) on their books at this moment in time, so bringing in Sierralta could prove to be a smart decision over time. However, it seems as if the Eagles may face competition for his services, should they firm up their interest.
