According to a report by De Telegraaf, Crystal Palace is trapped in the signature of Ajax’s left back Borna Sosa.
The 27-year-old defender, who joined Stuttgart’s Ajax for 8 million euros last summer, struggled to live up to expectations during his stint at Eredivisy, urging Ajax to consider offers from players in this window.

Aiming to build on the strong end of last season, the Palace is actively seeking to add quality and depth to the entire pitch, as well as SOSA as a player who can add offensive threats and technical quality to the left-back position.
