Crystal Palace, Everton, and Fulham are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old Algerian international Ilan Kebbal from Ligue 1 club Paris FC in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by French outlet L’Equipe, Crystal Palace, Everton, and Fulham are interested in Paris FC winger Ilan Kebbal. The three Premier League clubs are keen on reinforcing their offensive units by signing a wide attacker ahead of the 2026/27 season. The Algerian international is “expected to be open to offers” this summer, with the Ligue 1 outfit demanding €10-12 million to part ways with him.
Who is Ilan Kebbal?
Ilan Kebbal has established himself as one of the most dependable wingers in the country of his birth since joining Paris FC from Stade Reims in July 2023. Born in Marseille, the 27-year-old spent his formative years in France, starting his youth career at Burel FC before graduating from the academy Marignane Gignac. However, he struggled to land on his feet for several years before moving to Paris FC.
The Algerian international played his part as Paris FC secured promotion to Ligue 1, and he has been impressive this term, scoring eight goals and providing five assists in 26 outings across all competitions thus far. Meanwhile, Kebbal’s progress at Paris FC has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs, with Crystal Palace, Everton, and Fulham among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
A man in demand
Everton will dip into the market for a wide attacker in the coming months. While Iliman Ndiaye has been a revelation since arriving from Marseille, widespread reports have linked the Senegalese international with several high-profile Premier League clubs. Additionally, it is unclear if Jack Grealish will complete a permanent move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium after the 2025/26 season.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace and Fulham hold a long-standing interest in Ilan Kebbal. It is hardly surprising that the two London clubs remain keen on signing the Marseille-born winger, as the Eagles want more firepower in the final third, while the Cottagers are sweating over Harry Wilson’s long-term future.
While Fulham signed Oscar Bobb in the winter transfer window, Wilson will leave a gaping hole in the West London club’s attack if he departs as a free agent this summer. As for Crystal Palace, Oliver Glasner’s team has been over-dependent on Ismaila Sarr in the final third, and another productive winger will help them take a step in the right direction.
Meanwhile, recent reports have also linked the 27-year-old Algerian international with other Premier League clubs, while the latest update has revealed that he is a target for Brentford, AS Monaco, Lyon, and Stade Rennais. Paris FC’s asking price of €10-12 million adds to Kebbal’s appeal, and a summer departure is on the cards.
