Multiple sources today have confirmed that the race to sign Joel Ordonez is heating up, with Crystal Palace reportedly submitting an official bid for the defender. The offer is being considered by Club Brugge, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to tempt them into letting an important player leave. Crystal Palace are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Chelsea are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. With only 29 goals conceded in 24 (1.21 per game), Crystal Palace have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Joel Ordonez would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Club Brugge have also been linked with Felix Lemarechal and Andreas Schjelderup while Crystal Palace are reportedly monitoring Kodai Sano, Charlie Cresswell and Harry Wilson.
