Palace set for late window moves after Eze sale

Crystal Palace准备在出售埃泽给阿森纳后，寻求两名新援以加强防线与前场，并评估格希的未来走向。

Crystal Palace plans two signings after Eze sale to Arsenal

Crystal Palace have added Club Brugge central defender Joel Ordonez to their shortlist as they push to conclude late summer transfer business. They have agreed to sell Eberechi Eze to Arsenal for up to £67.5 million including add-ons, with £60 million upfront and around £7.5 million in bonuses. Palace are mindful that Marc Guehi’s future remains open, and they would expect to source a replacement before allowing any exit.

Palace are also exploring other targets, including Diomande from Sporting CP and further options such as Ordonez, with Brugge indicating price tags for their players. The club previously bid for Christos Tzolis, a move Brugge have not accepted, and Palace continue to assess a mix of defensive and attacking options as they aim to add at least two players before the window closes. The plan is to convert the Eze windfall into squad depth while preparing for a potentially unsettled period ahead.

The Eze deal shows Palace is betting on market liquidity to fund a quick rebuild. Selling a rising star while trying to refresh key positions is a delicate balance that tests the club’s scouting, finance, and patience. The transfer strategy reflects a wider Premier League pattern where mid-table clubs use sizable fees to reset a squad without sacrificing long-term stability.

Success hinges on immediately securing Guehi’s replacement and completing at least one additional concrete signing. Any delay or misfire could leave Palace with a thinner squad at a crucial stage of the season, heightening scrutiny from fans and investors alike as they reframe Oliver Glasner’s squad.

Time will tell if this rebuild will deliver the balance Palace seeks.
