As the transfer window nears its end, Crystal Palace is poised for significant player movement.
Sam Johnstone and Naouirou Ahamada have requested transfers, while several departures have already been confirmed.
On the incoming side, Palace is close to signing Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal in a deal worth up to £30 million.
This potential acquisition could trigger another forward’s departure.
Odsonne Edouard’s future at Palace is uncertain.
With only a year left on his £90,000-per-week contract, he’s attracting interest from his former club Celtic and Italian side Atalanta.
Palace faces a dilemma regarding Edouard. While he hasn’t fully met expectations since his £14 million transfer from Celtic, selling him could further deplete the squad after recent departures.
However, this may be Palace’s last chance to recoup some of their investment before his contract expires.
The club must weigh the financial benefit of a potential sale against the risk of being short-staffed, especially given the limited time left in the transfer window to find replacements.
