Crystal Palace is interested in signing Southampton defender Kyle Walkerpeter at the end of the season.
The 28-year-old English fullback is out of contract in the summer and he is on the radar of multiple clubs (H/T GMS). Signing a player of his quality on a free transfer is a master stroke from Crystal Palace if they can get the deal done.
West Ham United recently made a move to sign him.
The 28-year-old can operate on either side, and he could potentially become the ideal utility man for the Eagles. Crystal Palace hopes to improve its team and bring together the competitive side. You need to add more quality to your defense units. Fullback could prove to be the ideal acquisition for them with a free relocation.
Signing him as a free agent will allow Crystal Palace to improve other areas of the team as well. It would be interesting to see if Walker-Peters are ready to join in the summer.
Kyle Walker Peter could make a flashy palace move
Southampton is planning to go to the championship, and the 28-year-old will want to compete at a high level.
He wouldn’t want to play in the championship next season, and the opportunity to stay in the Premier League is very appealing to him.
Crystal Palace is a big club with ambitious projects, and he can be drawn to the idea of joining them. It remains to be seen whether the London Club will be able to secure an agreement with players in the coming weeks.
The defender is at the peak of his strength and he’s been doing well in the Premier League this season. He was able to improve Crystal Palace defensively and add a new dimension to their attacks.
