Arsenal, Tottenham and Barcelona are plotting a raid on Crystal Palace for the signature of their full-back Tyrick Mitchell.
Tyrick Mitchell’s future could be away from Crystal Palace with his contract running down and multiple top clubs from across Europe interested in his signature.
According to SPORT via SportWitness, Barcelona, Arsenal and Tottenham are three clubs that are interested in the English full-back. They could soon knock on the doors of the London club to try and lure Mitchell to their respective clubs.
The 25-year-old has come up the ranks at Palace. He got promoted to their first team back in the summer of 2020. He has been an important first-team player for them over the years but has never really had the limelight on him.
Mitchell seems to have taken his game to the next level in the ongoing campaign and teams are taking note of his performances. While he prefers playing as a full-back, he is doing a great job for the Eagles as a wing-back. The English international has started all games for them so far and has been one of the standout performers.
Rival clubs keen on signing Mitchell
Arsenal and Tottenham are two English clubs who are quite impressed with his consistency. His performances have caught their attention and they could now look to sign him. Mikel Arteta seeks more quality on the left flank and he would love to have someone like Mitchell on his side.
With Oleksandr Zinchenko no longer in his plans, the Eagles full-back could be an ideal replacement. With Sergio Reguilón’s departure almost certain, Spurs are also looking at him as an ideal candidate to strengthen the left side of their defence.
Barcelona plotting a raid on Crystal Palace
With the 25-year-old’s contract at Palace running out at the end of the season and a new deal nowhere in the picture, both clubs are looking to sign him on a free transfer. Meanwhile, Barcelona are also interested in the services of Mitchell. They can open pre-contract talks with him in the upcoming transfer window.
While Alejandro Balde is the preferred choice at left-back under Hansi Flick, the German manager wants to bring in someone who can provide cover for him and compete with him for a place in the XI. They feel Mitchell can help their cause and with him potentially available on a free transfer, it certainly helps a club like Barcelona that are struggling with their finances at this stage.
