Oliver Glasner has brought one of his former players to Crystal Palace already, now two others are linked.
Daichi Kamada was the second summer signing that Crystal Palace brought into the club this summer – a player that Oliver Glasner worked with at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Glasner wants players he knows he can trust and there has now been a reported bid for Maxence Lacroix from the Eagles to replace Marc Guehi.
But this isn’t the only player that Dougie Freedman is trying to sign with the club also has a keen interest in Trevoh Chalobah.
Now, Palace are also still in the running for yet another former Glasner player.

Crystal Palace retain interest in Filip Kostic
The latest player previously managed by Glasner to be linked with a move to Selhurst Park is Juventus’ Filip Kostic.
This comes according to Il Bianco Nero which reports that Kostic is almost guaranteed to be leaving this summer after he was excluded from a friendly squad earlier this week.
His agent is said to be taking steps to find the Serbian a new home and it is Palace who has taken the first steps in order to sign him.
The Eagles are joined in having an interest by both Fenerbahce and Atletico Madrid. At the moment, no move is seen as being hot although it could speed up at any time.
Juventus are looking for a fee of around £6m for the player who’d fit in nicely as Tyrick Mitchell’s support.
Is Kostic worth signing?
After refusing a deal for Ryan Sessegnon, some thought Glasner was not keen on bringing in a full-back, but that is surely the position Kostic would be placed into.
Kostic is not the flashy name-signing who will be inspiring and get fans excited, that being said he has some excellent qualities which could be beneficial to Palace.
Mitchell’s strengths don’t come in the opposition’s half, so to sign Kostic who could play against lesser teams, or come off the bench to help the attack would be a good option.
Kostic creates a tonne of chances and is incredibly progressive on the ball which could resemble the impact Daniel Munoz had on the right. Although he won’t be a starter, he is still a top signing for the right price.
