Crystal Palace To Pay €40m For Arsenal Target Replacement

Premier League outfit Crystal Palace have joined the race to sign Saint Etienne winger Ismaila Sarr according to the latest reports coming out of the French media.

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha could leave the club this summer having already submitted a transfer request to force a move away from Selhurst Park with Arsenal and Everton linked with the Ivorian international attacker.

According to French publication L’Equipe, Crystal Palace want to sign Ismaila Sarr who scored eight goals for Rennes in the French Ligue 1 last season.

Rennes are holding out for €40m for the Senegalese international player but Crystal Palace are offering €30m.

Another Premier League club in Watford had been linked with Ismaila Sarr earlier this month.

Watford had offered €30m plus €5m for Ismaila Sarr before the Crystal Palace bid.

Wilfried Zaha wanted to join Arsenal at the start of this summer’s transfer window but Crystal Palace were adamant that their £80m valuation must be met.

Arsenal offered just half of the asking price from Crystal Palace for their star player.

The Gunners have moved on from Wilfried Zaha thus leaving Everton as the only club in the race to sign him.

Everton have had two bids rejected for him by Crystal Palace.
