Crystal Palace will raid Man Utd and Chelsea for Wan-Bissaka and Gallagher in summer after giving up on January transfer
Posted Sunday, January 29, 2023 by Thesun.co.uk
CRYSTAL PALACE will wait for targets Conor Gallagher and Aaron Wan-Bissaka — even if it means being patient until the summer.
The Eagles have been quiet in this window with limited funds.
But the club’s plan is to hold on until their ex-loan star Gallagher becomes available from Chelsea and AWB is squeezed out at Manchester United.
Midfielder Gallagher, 22, and right-back Wan-Bissaka, 25, have both seen first-team action this month despite huge question marks over their futures.
Wan-Bissaka had seemed destined for the axe from the Red Devils but he has managed to make the most of his chance.
His opportunity came after the injury to Diogo Dalot, but it still remains to be seen if he has saved his long-term future at the club.
Gallagher however will have to compete with the ever-growing Chelsea squad, as the club continues its heavy investment into the playing squad.
The Englishman may fancy a move in order to guarantee his game time with the aim of getting back into the England set-up.
And Palace are recalling Luke Plange from Belgian side RWD Molenbeek.
The striker’s return will spark a three-club chase between Lincoln, Charlton and Barnsley for the former Derby prospect.
Plange, 20, is not playing enough and needs to join a side to sharpen up before a return to Patrick Vieira’s first-team squad.
Palace are currently in 12th in the Premier League place seven points clear of the bottom three and five points off the top ten.
