Transfer talk surrounding Jeff Ekhator is intensifying, with multiple sources reporting that Crystal Palace are monitoring the Genoa forward closely. The player has caught the attention of several scouts as clubs across the Premier League prepare for a busy transfer window. Crystal Palace remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Sl Benfica continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. In season 25/26, Crystal Palace are only scoring 1.05 goals per game (23 in 22), below the Premier League average. Jeff Ekhator would be brought in to give them more bite in the final third. Alongside this, Genoa are said to be exploring Cedric Bakambu, Cristian Casseres Jr and Nils Zatterstrom with Crystal Palace likewise connected to Evann Guessand, Sidiki Cherif and Jorgen Strand Larsen.
