Crystal Palace and Arsenal have experienced opposite starts to the Premier League season, with the Eagles struggling near the bottom while the Gunners sit closer to the top.
Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace have struggled to build on their strong finish last season, now sitting 18th in the Premier League without a win. In contrast, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have had a stellar start, sitting third and remaining unbeaten across all competitions.
As the January transfer window approaches, both clubs are expected to seek reinforcements. Palace aims to avoid relegation, while Arsenal will look to strengthen their title challenge.
According to GiveMeSport, Palace is set to ramp up their interest in a player linked with Arsenal—Bazoumana Toure, the 18-year-old Hammarby winger who has been making waves in Sweden’s top flight. Palace is reportedly preparing to pursue a deal for Toure ahead of a 2025 move, hoping to secure the promising talent before other top clubs take notice.
While Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked to Toure, Palace’s interest is reportedly strong, and they may push for an early move for the £8 million-rated winger. Toure has impressed this season with seven goals and three assists in 19 Allsvenskan appearances, attracting attention from clubs across Europe, including Celtic.
Fabrizio Romano recently commented on Toure’s potential, confirming that while many clubs are monitoring the young star, no concrete moves have been made yet. However, with Palace looking to act quickly, the race for Toure’s signature could heat up soon.
