Talks are underway between Sidiki Cherif and Crystal Palace after an agreement was reached with Crystal Palace. The forward is seen as a priority signing for the buying side, who are now focused on finalising personal terms as they look to strengthen their squad and kick-on. The player has not yet agreed a contract, but the move is progressing rapidly behind the scenes and is expected to be completed in the coming days. Crystal Palace remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Paris FC and Villarreal continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Crystal Palace's 25/26 output of 1.05 goals per game is behind league levels. The addition of Sidiki Cherif would give them the sharper edge they're missing in front of goal. Reports suggest Crystal Palace are monitoring Kevin Danois, Joao Gomes and Ilan Kebbal whereas Angers have not been associated with other players at this stage. Want more transfer rumours like this?
