Crystal Palace are reportedly stepping up their efforts to sign highly-rated Slavia Prague midfielder El Hadji Malick Diouf as they look to strengthen their squad during the ongoing January transfer window.
The Premier League players want to strengthen their teamand Diouf, who has impressed scouts with his versatility, is seen as an ideal addition to their ranks.
Crystal Palace are ready to offer £15m El Hadji Malick Diouf
According to Alan Nixon via PatreonPalace are preparing to make a £15million bid for the 20-year-old Senegalese international after Palace scouts were impressed with his performance during a recent training match in Spain.
Diouf’s versatility is one of the main reasons for Palace’s interest. Able to play at centre-back, left-back and left-midfield, he offers tactical flexibility that could address multiple areas of need within manager Oliver Glasner’s squad. His ability to perform in a variety of roles provides a valuable asset to a team looking to add depth and versatility to their defensive and midfield positions.
The young midfielder has been in excellent form for Slavia Prague this season, appearing in 28 games in all competitions. Operating mainly as a left midfielder, Diouf scored six goals and provided three assists, showing his attacking potential and all-round contribution to the team.
Diouf’s career began at the Academie Mawade Wade in Senegal, before moving to Norway’s Tromso in February 2023. Although he faced a slow start, the midfielder found his rhythm in the second half of the season and his performances earned him a move to Slavia Prague in January 2024. There, Diouf made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut and quickly establishing himself as a key figure at the club.
The palace seems determined to beat the competition, which includes Premier League side Liverpoolin order to secure the signature of a promising player.
Currently in 12th place in the Premier League, Crystal Palace are looking to stabilize their form and climb higher in the table in the second half of the season.
With the transfer window closing soon, Palace are preparing to make a decisive move to secure Diouf’s services, and a £15m bid could be key to bringing the talented midfielder to Selhurst Park.
