# Crystal Palace: Fans resigned to missing out on Yannick Carrasco transfer

**Some Crystal Palace fans are resigned to missing out on Dalian Yifang winger Yannick Carrasco this transfer window.**

The south London club are interested in signing the 26-year-old before the transfer windows closes but, according to [Dominic Fifield](https://twitter.com/domfifield/status/1221843394907004928?s=20) of The Athletic, negotiations to bring him to Selhurst Park have been complicated. Supporters now fear missing out on a player who could bring much to Roy Hodgson’s side.

Down the years, Carrasco has proven himself to be a very accomplished dribbler. In the most recent Chinese Super League season, the Belgium international averaged [3.7](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115472/History/Yannick-Carrasco) dribbles per game (via WhoScored). Meanwhile, during his final La Liga campaign with Atletico Madrid (2017/18), he managed 2.1. Not as impressive as his average in China but, bar Wilfried Zaha ([five](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/162/Show/England-Crystal-Palace)), no Palace player has produced more dribbles per league game this season.

Furthermore, Carrasco looks like a player who could make the Eagles more threatening out wide. However, for some supporters, a deal does not look likely. Take a look at what they have had to say below…

> It was mentioned that Dalian is a difficult club to deal with, scenes if it gets completed but I don’t think it’s very likely. Much like the Piatek rumours. Focus on a RB and as long as we keep all current players we will manage to end of the season
