Crystal Palace is looking for someone to replace Ebereechi Eze after his exit, but Oliver Glasner and Steve Parish have different goals in mind, but both can still be signed
Crystal Palace could get two new signing sessions with the money they have collected from the sale of Ebereechi Eze – but the manager and the chairman both watch different people.
The Eagles have a huge gap to fill after they had seen Eze leave for Arsenal, which announced his signing on Saturday. The outfit in South Londs has booked £ 67.5 million, which they can now invest in the team, although this summer is against them.
Oliver Glasner has not seen many new faces coming, but the departure of his star man means that he and the club have to act now. The Sun reports that the ex-Frankfurt boss wants Club Brugge-Vleugel player Christos Tzolis, who has been a big hit in Belgium after his forgetful Stint in Norwich.
However, Palace Chairman Steve Parish loves Villarreal's forward Yeremy Pino. However, Glasner is unclear how the 22-year-old Spaniard would fit in the team and doubts about his signing.
The Eagles hope that both men can be protected for about £ 20 million, which means that they can go after Pino and Tzolis if they wanted the money they just collected from Eze.
Prior to a potential year in Europe, and after the success of the FA Cup and the Community shield, Glasner wanted to continue and he broadcast his frustration that the Eagles had not yet replaced Eze in the building prior to his inevitable output.
He said: “I can't do anything. I can't sign the contract of a player. We have to act. We need this. This is the future of Crystal Palace. It is easy to add figures, we have to add the right players. The profile has been defined for months long, months. Months. Months. Months. Months. Months. Months. Months months.
“We knew that this chance is very high that this would happen, and to be honest I say it as it is, we missed the chance to replace him early enough. That is completely our fault, and no one else is wrong.”
On the way to the last week of the window and Palace, skipper Marc Guehi was still able to leave the club. The Center half started in the last year of his contract and has no desire to extend his stay, which could force the Eagles to sell. Liverpool circles with parish and admits that they will not lose him for nothing.
