Crystal Palace have been looking to make their first signing of the summer transfer window, and they might be on their way to do so, as they look forward to bring in the Under-21 England international Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea on a season long loan deal for the next term. The Eagles might sign the player within the next 24 hours in an effort to strengthen their midfield for the next season.
The Chelsea player has played in only six matches in the last season and has been made available for the summer transfer market by the Blues, with Antonio Conte, the present man in charge at Stamford Bridge, wanting him to get more first team exposure before becoming a permanent part of the line-up in the future.
The Eagles have been much dependent on players, who have come to their club on loan, and have made a successful career with them, the latest example being the French international Mamadou Sakho, who was brought in on loan in the last season from Liverpool, and played a pivotal role in their defence to make the club avoid relegation and end in the 14th position on the League table in the last term.
Another example of a player who came into the Crystal Palace side on loan and made an impact to become one of the most dependable players of the recent times is the Ivory Coast international Wilfried Zaha, who was brought into the side from Manchester United in 2014 and made a great impact on the club, by helping it to finish at number 10th position on the League table. In 2015, the move was made permanent by the South London club, so as to bring in one of their most influential players into the club.
Frank De Boer, the new manager of the club, has been well aware of the fact that he will be facing one of the toughest tests of his coaching career as the Eagles coach and will need players who can help him strengthen his team for the upcoming term, helping them to perform better than the last season and finish in the top half of the Premier League table.
The Dutchman is quite pleased with the fact that he will be able to have one of the brightest young talents in the country in his squad for the next season. He will definitely look to make full use of the player, with his pace and prowess being a key to his side’s success for the next term.
