Crystal Palace are ready to battle it out for the signature of Juventus winger Edon Zhegrova. The 27-year-old Kosovo international has emerged as a transfer target for the Eagles in the final weeks of the summer window, as per a report by Italian outlet Tutto Juve. The Premier League club is monitoring Zhegrova's situation as they assess their options to bolster their attack.
What's at stake for Crystal Palace?
Crystal Palace's pursuit of Zhegrova appears less straightforward, given the Eagles already have several right-flank options. While Brennan Johnson is on the verge of leaving, adding Zhegrova may not be an immediate priority for the Eagles.
Why it matters for Crystal Palace
The Eagles are looking to strengthen their attack, and Zhegrova's pace, directness, and ability to operate from the right could be an attractive addition. However, the club would need to consider whether selling him makes sporting sense, given the uncertainty surrounding Iliman Ndiaye's future.
What comes next?
Juventus, meanwhile, are not necessarily looking to force Zhegrova out of the club. A substantial offer from England could change the situation, but the Bianconeri would need to consider whether selling him makes sporting sense. Spalletti will have a major say in that decision.
Crystal Palace are currently 15th in the Premier League, with 45 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LDLDL. They have scored 41 goals and conceded 51 this season, with a goal difference of -10. They are 40 points behind leaders Arsenal and have lost their last two games, including a 1-2 defeat to Arsenal on May 24th.
The transfer window is closing, and Crystal Palace will need to act quickly if they want to secure Zhegrova's signature. The 27-year-old has shown encouraging signs in pre-season, scoring a stunning winner against Chelsea and reminding Juventus of his potential. However, his future remains uncertain, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
