Crystal Palace set to seal £15m transfer for Lens midfielder Cheick Doucoure and set sights on Man Utd outcast

CRYSTAL PALACE are closing in on Lens midfielder Cheick Doucoure for around £15million.

The Mali international, 22, has been checked out by boss Patrick Vieira.

And he is also cheaper than £35m rated Ajax star Edson Alvarez.

Palace would also like to bring Aaron Wan-Bissaka home from his Manchester United misery but their hopes are slim.

United insiders claim new boss Erik ten Hag will stick with the £50m right-back.

Wan-Bissaka came up through the Palace ranks as a kid.

And he became a fan favourite in 46 outings.

But things have not gone to plan since his mega-money United move in 2019.

Palace had been hoping to make a loan move for Wan-Bissaka.

However, they were yet to make an official approach.

And it’s now believed he still has a future at Old Trafford.

But one man Palace could land is Derby’s Malcolm Ebiowei.

The youngster is a free agent this summer.

And the Eagles have made their move after already landing Luke Plange.

I've got to say, if we could Doucoure and Ebiowei signed before pre-season starts that would be a fantastic start to the upcoming window.

Is he a box to box midfielder like McArthur? Or defensive or ..what? Please.

[Old Joe Paxton]

Sound like I am begging. But my politeness sounds desperate. Not that interested…

Never seen him play but according to Transfermarkt, the majority of his games have been as a DM but has also played as a CM and a CB.

Nixon has excellent source at palace, would take note of what he puts out.

I agree with him re AWB.. be very surprised if that happens

I'm kind of an expert about him. But as you're not that interested then I won't tell you.

A loan for AWB would make sense.

Likes a tackle in this video.

It might make sense for us to make the enquiry. I'm not sure it makes sense for United to let him go or for AWB himself.

I think Ten Hag will want to have a look at him and I think AWB will want to see if he can force his way in to the new manager's plans. If it doesn't work out I can see him being loaned out in the future but I'm not so sure it will happen this summer.

[TheCharmer1]

looks a good start to the summer window, if true. A position we needed sorting

[Danny boy]

Sounds good.

Don’t know too much about him. What sort of midfielder is he?

there's a video above, tells you everything

[Ticehurst]

He's a box to box midfielder, all action style. Can play at the back as well. Looks like it could be another blinding signing.

Looks a good player, just what we need.

[CpfcLoz]

he looks quality! brilliant if true.

[nicobos]

Gallagher replacement ?

Loves a sliding tackle it seems…get him and AWB and we’ll be sliding more than bambi on ice
