1 min read
Crystal Palace reportedly had the opportunity to sign RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner on loan in the January transfer window. The Germany international was offered to multiple Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace, Manchester United, West Ham, and Fulham. However, Werner is now on the verge of joining Tottenham Hotspur.
The report suggests that despite being offered the chance to sign the “top-class” forward, Crystal Palace opted not to pursue a deal for Werner. The 27-year-old has faced challenges in finding his form at RB Leipzig this season and is seeking an England return with a move to Tottenham.
The article highlights that Timo Werner could have been a quality option for Crystal Palace, offering a real threat up front with his creative ability. However, with the decision to decline the offer, Palace will now explore other forward options.
Eddie Nketiah is mentioned as a player high on Crystal Palace’s radar, though potential budget constraints may be a factor. Another cheaper alternative suggested is Borja Mayoral of Getafe, who has been in impressive form in La Liga this season.
As Crystal Palace continues its search for a forward in the January transfer window, the report emphasizes the need to move quickly before potential options become unavailable.
