Crystal Palace now pushing to sign £17m player Mauricio Pochettino compared to Lionel Messi
Crystal Palace have been searching high and low for the perfect Michael Olise replacement and now they’re pushing for a £17m gem.
For Crystal Palace, the past week or so will have been centred around one thing and that is finding who is going to replace Michael Olise at the club.
This has led to several names being mentioned with Palace clearly casting the net wide to ensure the best possible addition is made for Oliver Glasner.
Antonio Nusa has become a real frontrunner with interest thought to be high, but now reports in Europe are claiming the Eagles are pushing for another option.
This could therefore see Dougie Freedman hand Glasner his very own Lionel Messi.
Marcus Edwards being pushed for by Palace
The potential Olise replacement who Palace are now pushing for is Sporting Lisbon’s winger Marcus Edwards who has been a name quietly in the background for Palace.
According to Portuguese outlet Record, Palace’s interest comes from Glasner who wanted the winger back when he was manager of Eintracht Frankfurt.
However, according to the outlet, Edwards isn’t particularly keen on making the move to Selhurst Park as it states he isn’t ‘enticed’ by the move.
