Leeds star targeted by Crystal Palace as Man Utd plot Michael Olise transfer swoop.
Crystal Palace have put contingency plans in place in case they lose star men Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze in the upcoming transfer window in what would prove to be a major blow for Oliver Glasner’s exciting Selhurst Park project.
Crystal Palace will move for Leeds attacker Crysencio Summerville if they lose Michael Olise or Eberechi Eze this summer.
Palace have long-standing interest in the Dutchman, who scored 20 goals and registered nine assists in the Championship this season. And he remains on their radar, though sources only anticipate the Eagles to swoop if one of their star men are sold.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle all admire Olise while Eze has previously caught the eye of both Manchester City and Tottenham, respectively.
Both Palace stars have complex release clauses worth in the region of £60million and while Oliver Glasner is hopeful of retaining their services, the Eagles could ultimately prove powerless if suitors table the required cash.

However, target Summerville is high in demand having also been tracked by Chelsea, Aston Villa, among others. Liverpool too, have scouted the ex-Feyenoord man and there is a chance he could be sold before June 30 when Leeds will submit their financial records.
The 22-year-old is valued at around £30m and Daniel Farke’s side may be forced to cash in due to Financial Fair Play regulations after missing out on promotion following defeat to Southampton in the Championship play-off final.
Meanwhile, Palace are confident of keeping hold of their Player of the Season, Jean-Philippe Mateta. The 26-year-old frontman is wanted by both Napoli and Borussia Dortmund but he remains happy at Selhurst Park after hitting a career-best 16 Premier League goals this season.
He remains central to Glaser’s project and with Palace already laying the groundwork on several impressive summer transfer deals, there is internal confidence the Frenchman will choose to remain in south east London.
