Following an impressive season, it’s hardly surprising that several Crystal Palace players are generating buzz ahead of the summer transfer window.
Under the guidance of Oliver Glasner, the Eagles not only achieved their highest-ever points total in the Premier League but also secured their first major trophy by defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final. Their dynamic, attacking brand of football has caught the attention of clubs across Europe, especially as Palace gear up to compete in the Europa League next season.
As a result, some of their key performers have become hot targets for top teams.
Eberechi Eze, who netted the decisive goal at Wembley against City, is attracting interest from a host of big-name clubs. Chelsea are reportedly keen on adding the talented attacker to their ranks, especially after opting not to pursue a permanent deal for Jadon Sancho. Meanwhile, Manchester City, impressed by Eze’s standout performance in the final, are also keeping tabs on the England international.
Another rising star drawing considerable attention is Adam Wharton.
Since his January 2024 arrival, the 20-year-old midfielder has been a standout performer. Rumours suggest Real Madrid have sent multiple scouts to monitor his progress this season. While a potential transfer in the summer remains a possibility, Crystal Palace will be eager to retain Wharton’s services as they prepare for European competition next term.
Crystal Palace Initiate Talks for Promising Keeper Luke Campbell
It’s not just about departures at Selhurst Park this summer.
According to The Mirror, Crystal Palace have opened discussions with 19-year-old goalkeeper Luke Campbell as he prepares to leave Chelsea. After spending a decade at Stamford Bridge, Campbell’s contract is set to expire at the end of this month.
Palace are considering bringing the young shot-stopper into their development squad, especially following the exit of Louie Moulden to Norwich. However, Campbell also has options in the Championship, with QPR reportedly interested in securing his signature.
Campbell featured for Chelsea’s Under-21s late last season, showcasing his potential ahead of this next career move.
Announcing his departure last week, Campbell shared a heartfelt message on Instagram alongside a childhood photo in a Chelsea kit: “After ten incredible years, it is time for us to part ways. Thank you everyone for the love, memories, and support over the years, it won’t be forgotten.”
