Crystal Palac’s summer transfer window looks set to be a busy one, with the club eager to give manager Patrick Vieira the tools he needs to continue on the success of the 2021/22 campaign.
The Eagles finished 12th in the Premier League and reached an FA Cup semi-final following significant investment in the playing squad last summer. Chairman Steve Parish and director of football Dougie Freedman oversaw the arrivals of Joachim Andersen, Marc Guehi, Michael Olise, Will Hughes and Odsonne Edouard for a combined fee of around £60million.
But with several first-team players out of contract this summer there is still more work to be done. Palace are hoping to add a midfielder to their ranks to fill the hole left by loanee Conor Gallagher, while there are also reinforcements needed in defence, specifically at right-back. And with the new Premier League season kicking off earlier than usual this year due to the winter World Cup in Qatar, the clock is ticking for Palace to sign new players.
