Crystal Palace are seen as the front-runners to sign Brazilian talent Wallace Yan from Flamengo, who has plenty of other high-profile suitors.
According to TEAMtalk, Wallace Yan could get a route out of Flamengo and into one of the known European clubs. Crystal Palace are seen as the front-runners for the Brazilian striker talent, with the Eagles eager to wrap up a move before being involved in a battle with some of the high-profile clubs, such as Liverpool.
Wallace Yan is considered one of the promising striker talents coming out of Brazil, and he is widely expected to become a big star in the future. The 20-year-old striker, who has 12 goal contributions for Flamengo across all competitions in the season, is already a considerable target for many around Europe.
With the youngster seen as a ready product for first-team action at European clubs, some are targeting a January move. Portuguese side Benfica are considered one of the suitors for the attacker, while Liverpool are also mentioned as an interested party.
The Merseyside outfit may have made headlines with the signings of stars like Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, but they are also looking at young talents for the future. Wallace Yan is one of those, but it is Crystal Palace who are serious about the striker.
Crystal Palace have been sensational under Oliver Glasner, and the Eagles are eager to continue to build under the Austrian by adding to their squad. Wallace Yan is seen as someone who fits into their squad for the long-term future and the immediate run, as a January move beckons.
Crystal Palace are eager to sit down with Flamengo to discuss a fee, as highly-rated striker has 18 months left on his deal. There will be a possible understanding if all parties agree to a transfer, especially in the winter window.
Crystal Palace wants to avoid an unwanted transfer battle
Crystal Palace are eager to wrap up the deal for Wallace Yan at the earliest to avoid an unpleasant scenario of battling one of the big sides for the player. With the report naming the likes of Liverpool among those interested in the player, should the Merseysiders enter the race seriously, they could appeal to the player differently compared to Palace.
Hence, it is a matter of time and probably a big race for Crystal Palace to complete the deal without any fuss. Avoiding the likes of Liverpool or even other European giants like Benfica will serve the Eagles well in such chases, as Wallace Yan could be a good addition for their future.
