Tottenham might have now made it harder for Crystal Palace to sign their number one target
Despite starting the 2024/25 campaign without a win in eight games, Crystal Palace are now catching up to Tottenham.
Spurs – who were incidentally the first side Crystal Palace beat in the Premier League this season – are only three points 🍌above the Eagles after 20 games, following a wretched run꧙ of just one win in eight outings.
That woeful streak has partly been caused by the absence of Guglielmo Vicario – Ange Postecoglou’s No.1 – and the struggles of Fraser Forster, who has beenꦰ deputising for the Italian.
Spurs have consequently acted swiftly to sign a new goalkeeper, spending £12.5m to take Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague – a deal which could well throw a spanner in the works for Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace may now struggle to sign El Hadji Malick Diouf
A story from the claims that Crystal Palace have made Slavia Prague No.12 El Hadji Malick Diouf their No.1 target for the🔴 Winter transfer window, as Oliver Glasner aims to replicate the effectiveness of Daniel Munoz down the right fla𝓰nk on the left.
The Senegal international has been a real livewire at left wing-back for the Czech giants this season, scoring six goals and providing three assists in just 18 Chance Liga appearances s😼o far.
However, a new s🍰tory from the now states that Slavia Prague are expecting Crystal Palace to give up their pursuit of Diouf, just days after rece♔iving £12.5m from Tottenham for Kinsky.
It goes without saying Slavia Prague have a lesser n𒁏eed for cash this month after negotiating a Czech record sale with Spurs, already rejecting a £12.5m bid from Cryst🐷al Palace for the 20-year-old Senegalese wonderkid.
Of course, there is plenty of time remaining for Crystal Palace to twist Slavia Prague’s arm, although the feeling r🎐ight now – in our view – is that Tottenham have certainly made the deal harder for Dougie Freedman to complete.
Tottenham and Crystal Palace also keen on Andy Diouf
Crystal Palace – who also want Ben Doak – are no♔t the only side tryi🍰ng to sign a Diouf this month.
TBR Football understand Spurs have enquired about Andy Diouf of RC Lens – as have Crystal Palace – although the Ligue 1 outfit ꩵare unwilling to let the Frenchman l♎eave during the season.
