Earlier on Monday, a surprise twist appeared in the Ismaïla Sarr to Aston Villa transfer negotiations, as a deal that seemed imminent quickly stalled.
A report from France claimed that disagreements appeared between Watford and the Villans, which will be great news for Crystal Palace.
The forward has been a target for Patrick Vieira’s side for a while now, but interest from other teams seemingly got in the way.
It seemed like Crystal Palace had lost the race, but this latest setback in the talks means they still stand a chance of signing the Senegalese.

In fact, journalist Santi Aouna explains the Eagles are ‘still active’ regarding a potential transfer, and that’s despite the competition still trying to get a deal over the line.
Whether Crystal Palace do get their man come the end of the transfer window remains to be seen, but if talks with other clubs aren’t going well, perhaps the appeal of a move to Selhurst Park will grow in the coming days.
