Crystal Palace now agree terms to sign player Roy Keane called “brilliant” in 2022.

 

Now, arrangements have been agreed with for Maxwel Cornet to join Crystal Palace on loan from West Ham.

Ed Aarons of the Guardian claims that.

What’s new with Crystal Palace and Maxwel Cornet, then? Let’s examine this.

Aarons claims that a deal has been made to sign the Ivory Coast international.

It’s not as easy as it seems, though.

Roy Keane spoke to Cornet as a “brilliant” football player back in 2022, but Aarons clarifies that West Ham wants to find a successor before letting Cornet depart the London Stadium.

“Understand that Palace has agreed terms over potential Maxwel Cornet loan but move still hinges on West Ham being able to sign a replacement,” the dependable journalist tweeted on X (formerly known as Twitter). #cpfc

It’s another shocking twist in this specific transfer story.

Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail subsequently confirmed a TEAM talk story from earlier on deadline day that Roy Hodgson was against moving Cornet to Selhurst Park.

It is important to remember that West Ham is also anticipated to sell Said Benrahma to Lyon. They also reportedly have concerns about unduly reducing their array of offensive alternatives by allowing Cornet to go.

We therefore have serious doubts about this purchase going through as it stands, so maybe Freedman has another plan in place.
