Franco-Senegalese midfielder Andy Diouf has emerged as a transfer target for Crystal Palace as the summer transfer window approaches.
The 22-year-old enjoyed an amazing season with RC Lens, making 37 appearances across competitions, scoring one goals and delivering two assists.
The Eagles had expressed interest in the midfielder in Diouf, however, the French Ligue 1 outfit declined to sanction a move for the midfielder
Diouf initially struggled to replicate the form that earned him a move to Lens from Basel two years ago, but he steadily improved this campaign under the tutelage of Will Still.
Having rediscovered his form, the talented midfielder has emerged as a top transfer target for the reigning FA Cup holders.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Crystal Palace are expected to test the waters in an attempt to secure the services of the midfielder.
The prospect of playing in Europe with the FA Cup winners could appeal to the France U23 international, considering he is set to for a second consecutive season without midweek football with the Artois side.
Should he sign for Crystal Palace, Diouf would reunite with Jean-Philippe Mateta, who was his teammate in Thierry Henry’s France squad for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
