Multiple reports have confirmed that Crystal Palace have made their first official bid for Kodai Sano by submitting a formal offer. The NEC Nijmegen midfielder has long been admired by the interested team, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad ahead of the run-in. Whether the current offer will be enough to tempt NEC Nijmegen to part with a prized asset remains to be seen. Crystal Palace have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Wolfsburg, Feyenoord and Ajax are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. Crystal Palace are only scoring 1.04 goals per game (25 in 24) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Kodai Sano would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. NEC Nijmegen have also been linked with Willum Thor Willumsson, Isak Hansen-Aaroen and Danilo while Crystal Palace are reportedly monitoring Joel Ordonez, Charlie Cresswell and Harry Wilson.
