Transfer speculation continues to mount as Lucas Paqueta has been linked in recent days with a move to Crystal Palace. The midfielder, currently playing for West Ham, could add a new dimension to the squad if the rumoured interest turns into an official approach before the end of the transfer window. While Crystal Palace and West Ham continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. So far this season, Crystal Palace are steady at both ends (1.33 goals scored per game, 0.5 goals conceded per game). The role for Lucas Paqueta would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, West Ham are said to be exploring Mehdi Taremi, Zion Suzuki and Pierce Charles with Crystal Palace likewise connected to Leandro Trossard, Martinez Arnau and Mateus Fernandes.
