Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has said that he expects both Christian Benteke and Patrick van Aanholt to remain at the club by the time the transfer window closes tonight. The Eagles have seen few senior departures in this window, with the only main exit being Max Meyer’s release by mutual consent as he subsequently joined FC Köln. Any other departures thus far have been in the form of development loans, with the likes of Sam Woods, Nya Kirby and Scott Banks among such exits in this window. Benteke and Van Aanholt, who are both in the final six months of their current deals, have previous ..read more

Crystal Palace have made a part-exchange offer for Fenerbahce midfielder Ozan Tufan, but a deal appears unlikely at this stage. According to Fotomac [via Sport Witness], the Eagles have made an offer of €10m (£8.84m) plus Christian Benteke for the midfielder, but the Turkey international has poured cold water on the likelihood of a move. Palace have been previously touted as major suitors for Tufan’s signature and have been stated as having previous €10m bids rejected. Fenerbahce are reportedly holding out for €15m (13.26m), and Benteke has been linked as an asset who could be leveraged to cov ..read more

Patrick van Aanholt could be on his way out from Crystal Palace ahead of a possible deadline day move to Arsenal. The Gunners are in the market for a new left-back following injury concerns over Kieran Tierney and the departure of Sead Kolasinac on loan to Schalke. According to The Athletic, there has been no formal contact between Arsenal and Van Aanholt’s entourage, but a deal is not off the cards. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta was agonisingly cryptic when asked in his 10am press conference on potential incomings at the Emirates Stadium, claiming ‘we are on it’ when asked if Arsenal could sec ..read more

Crystal Palace midfielder James McCarthy is attracting the interest of both Burnley and Aston Villa, with Celtic also ready to secure a contract to take him to Parkhead, as reported by TEAMtalk. McCarthy’s current £50,000-a-week deal runs out at the end of the 2021/22 season and the Republic of Ireland international was an integral part of Palace’s midfield last term as he helped Roy Hodgson’s side to a comfortable mid-table finish, making 33 Premier League appearances for the Eagles. The 30-year-old has only started four Premier League matches for the Eagles so far this campaign, but he still ..read more

A number of Crystal Palace fans have been urging Yannick Bolasie to return to Selhurst Park after the winger’s latest hint over his potential future on social media. Bolasie established himself as a cult hero for Palace during his four-year spell with the Eagles, playing a starring role as they earned promotion to the Premier League in his first season with the club. The DR Congo international then became an integral part of the squad which established them in the top-flight. The 31-year-old’s pace and flair in possession saw him become a very important player for the Palace and form an exciti ..read more

Roy Hodgson is again entering the final year of his contract at Crystal Palace, having signed a one-year extension to remain as manager until at least the end of the current season. The former England manager has done a very solid job for Palace, ensuring that the Eagles have managed to keep themselves well clear of any relegation worries throughout his time in charge of the club. Palace will face a crucial decision over who to appoint when Hodgson eventually decides to step away, which might be at the end of the season if he does not sign a new deal. The Eagles have had some excellent manager ..read more

A number of Crystal Palace fans have been raging over an “embarrassing” statistic which has emerged showing the lack of end product generated from their strikers including Christian Benteke, Jordan Ayew and Michy Batshuayi. Palace failed to score for the third away game out of their last four when they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Burnley on Monday, with the Eagles struggling to create chances for most of the game and then seeing both Benteke and Batshuayi miss big chances which fell their way, with Nick Pope making two excellent saves. The defeat also compounded the Eagles’ struggles without the s ..read more

Ajax are preparing to make a move to sign Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt on a pre-contract agreement in January, with the Eagles still aiming to keep hold of him. Van Aanholt’s current £55,000-a-week contract runs out at the end of the campaign, which means he can potentially sign pre-contract agreements with other European clubs during the winter window. The left-back is a key performer for Roy Hodgson’s side when fully fit and the Eagles are still hoping that they can tie him down to a new deal, per Football Insider. The 30-year-old remained at Selhurst Park in the summer despit ..read more

A number of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting unkindly to Andros Townsend’s performance during the Eagles’ 1-0 defeat at Burnley on Monday evening. The Eagles headed into the game looking to build on their impressive 4-1 win against Leeds United before the international break. Instead, their poor form on their travels continued in the absence of the influential Wilfried Zaha, who was ruled out being forced to self-isolate, meaning he missed the trip to Turf Moor. Without Zaha, Palace would have been looking to both Townsend and Eberechi Eze to provide a creative spark and help them break ..read more
