Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz has become a key player for the south London club under Oliver Glasner.
The Colombia international came through Colombian side Rionegro Águila before eventually moving to South American giants Atletico Nacional.
From there, the South American would get his big move to Europe with Belgian side KRC Genk, and the Colombian would impress at the Jupiler League club – this would lead to interest from the Premier League and indeed Crystal Palace.
