Crystal Palace transfer targets summer 2024: Eagles planning to fill several voids

Crystal Palace finished 2023/24 as one of the Premier League's form sides under new manager Oliver Glasner. The Eagles won six and lost none of their last seven league matches, giving the Austrian coach every right to put his own stamp on the South London side.

The Eagles have already secured a few important signings, but they'll be looking to improve their team even more at the very end of transfer window in Europe.

Eddie Nketiah

One of Crystal Palace's main targets as the transfer window winds down remains Eddie Nketiah. According to some reports, if he ends up leaving Arsenal, it will be to join the Eagles.

The 25-year-old forward has been in second plan with the Gunners for a while now, though he still got his chances to show glimpses of quality and potential. However, if Crystal Palace want to sign Nketiah, they will have to splash some big cash.

Maxence Lacroix

When it comes to defensive targets for the Eagles, the main story revolves around Wolfsburg's central defender Maxence Lacroix. The Frenchman is reportedly very close to signing for Crystal Palace, but the deal will have to be struck quickly since the transfer window is coming to a close.

Lacroix has an estimated transfer value of €20m, but it remains to be seen whether Wolfsburg are ready to let him go for such a sum or will they try to hold off for more.

Tomas Araujo

The 22-year-old defender from Benfica is attracting the attention of several different clubs, including Chelsea and PSG, but Crystal Palace are also interested and will likely be able to give Araujo more playing time than any other club.

With an estimated market value of around €7m, the Portuguese defender could be a bargain transfer for the Eagles late in the transfer window, but Benfica might take the interest in him as a sign that they could ask for more money.
