Crystal Palace now want to sign Largie Ramazani from Almeria as the January transfer window looms.
So, what is the situation involving Largie Ramazani and Crystal Palace? Let’s take a look
Crystal Palace want Largie Ramazani
It’s no secret that we need offensive reinforcements this winter.
Only Sheffield United, who are now bottom of the Premier League with nine points, have scored fewer goals in 18 games than we have.
According to Foot Mercato, Dougie Freedman appears to have identified Ramazani as a viable solution.
Crystal Palace, according to the French news agency, is keeping a careful check on developments regarding the Belgium U21 international, who Manchester United really released in 2020.
It is said that Almeria will accept a bid of €10m (£9m) for the 22-year-old.
Foot Mercato add that Lyon, owned by Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor, and Lille are also keen to sign Ramazani.
Who is Largie Ramazani?
If Crystal Palace can beat off Lyon and Lille for Ramazani in January, Roy Hodgson – or possibly Steve Cooper – will acquire a versatile forward.
The Belgian, like Odsonne Edouard, can play in the centre or on the left.
Ramazani has two goals and four assists in 18 La Liga games this season, where his exceptional dribbling talents, aided by his petite 5ft 6in frame, make him a genuine headache for defenders.
Physically, the Almeria No.7 may struggle to adjust to life in the Premier League at first, although the Selhurst Park faithful love a confident dribbler, so this move could turn out to be a success if it materialises.
A trio of Ramazani, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise has the potential to cause real problems, along with Edouard and Matheus Franca.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as anything could happen in 2024.
