In an attempt to sign a player other than Kylian Mbappe, Crystal Palace is now in communication with potential suitors.
This summer, Oliver Glasner will be itching to bolster, and he will be examining his alternatives in the attacking line.
Even though Jean-Philippe Mateta, who was just named the team’s Player of the Season, has been playing fantastically, Crystal Palace will still need to add more depth.
Palace may have a lot of work ahead of them with Odsonne Edouard expected to depart and interest in Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze certain to arise.
In light of it, it appears that Palace has a summertime Kylian Mbappe rejuvenation in mind.
Crystal Palace make contact over Wesley Gassova
Wesley Gassova, a 19-year-old Brazilian talent, is reportedly Palace’s latest target.
The Eagles are interested in signing the wonderkid because of his impressive season, and they have actually contacted him about it.
However, Globo Esporte reports that Brighton and West Ham are also reportedly showing interest, so Dougie Freedman isn’t the only one who is enthusiastic.

The Standard claims that Liverpool has recently expressed interest in him, which should speak to his level of skill.
In addition, the report states that Wesley’s representative has just traveled to Europe to talk with prospective teams in preparation for a possible summer transfer.
Wesley can be likened to Kylian Mbappe
Being a left winger by trade, it’s fair to assume Wesley would be a signing for the event that Eze is sold, although he’ll also have to battle a hopefully improved Matheus Franca.
However, the teenager would arrive with a high reputation and has even been compared with World Cup winner and PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe as El Futbolero explained while linking him with PSG earlier this month.
This would be a Brighton-esque move and they’re also said to be interested, so based on their recent form of recruiting, Palace are well placed to succeed in their own recruitment should it follow their arch-rivals’.
In the 2024 Serie A, Wesley has scored twice in five games, while also starring in the Copa do Brasil with two assists and a goal in three games.
A star in the making who Palace would do very well to sign this summer.
