Crystal Palace are always on the lookout for talented young players who have the potential to become elite and now the fight for one teenager is heating up.
Dougie Freedman is a real expert in recruitment and often provides some absolute gems for Crystal Palace, such as signing Adam Wharton last January in a £20m deal which soon looked like a bargain.However, in the summer which has just passed, the players brought in were not of this profile and rather were older and more experienced.
This has likely impacted the start of the season, with an exciting replacement for Michael Olise not signed and now the Eagles sit in 18th place in the Premier League.Now, Crystal Palace are targeting a move to sign an 18-year-old who is catching the eye in Sweden.In the summer, Ismaila Sarr was signed as the most likely replacement for Olise, with both being right-wingers – albeit with completely different profiles of players.
