This summer is set to be a busy one for Crystal Palace, with incomings and outgoings on the cards for Oliver Glasner.

Oliver Glasner will be keen for multiple players to arrive this summer as he’ll no doubt want the squad moulded in his vision.

Crystal Palace however will likely see their best players linked with moves away, funding the incomings as a result.

Marc Guehi and Michael Olise – who is heavily linked with Manchester United – are both linked heavily with a departure, along with Eberechi Eze.

The trio of stars could all be on their way out and now it’s Eze who has been linked away.

Eberechi Eze’s likeliest move is to Man City this summer

Among the names likely to attract a substantial amount of interest this summer is Eze. The exceptional midfielder has been immense this season for Palace and the top teams in England will likely be keen.

Now according to a report from the Independent, Eze has two suitors this summer. Tottenham Hotspur are viewing Eze as one of their two main targets.

But unfortunately for Ange Postecoglou, it seems that Eze’s likeliest move will be to Manchester City who would beat Spurs in a transfer race.

Having two teams potentially in the Champions League in the race to sign Eze will only benefit Palace with more interest the better as it could drive the deal toward one favourable to the Eagles.

Crystal Palace must replace Eze if he is sold

One thing which is key this summer is that Palace don’t allow sales to leave them short as it’d be unfair on Glasner.

Whoever is sold needs to also be replaced with a player who has the potential to be of similar quality.

In this case, it means Palace need to be looking at their options for those inside winger positions.

Matias Soule is one of the names we’d like to see most, as a replacement for either Olise or Eze.
