Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing 28-year-old Spanish winger Jorge de Frutos from Rayo Vallecano.
According to a report from Spanish publication Marca, Crystal Palace will face competition from Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth in the race to sign Jorge de Frutos. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
The Spanish attacker has been impressive this season, amassing 12 contributions already. Crystal Palace have made their enquiry, but they are yet to follow up with an official proposal. They need more quality in the final third, and signing the talented attacker could be ideal for them.
The Spaniard has the potential to develop into a quality winger. He has the technical attributes succeed in the Premier League, and the opportunity to move to England will be exciting for him. The 28-year-old attacker is currently pushing for a place in the Spanish national team.
Joining a Premier League club would give him a bigger platform and improve his chances of representing his country more often. It remains to be seen whether Crystal Palace can get the deal across the line.
The Eagles have a talented squad, and they are competing in European football. They are likely to be an attractive destination for young players. They have a quality manager like Oliver Glasner as well, and the Austrian tactician could bring out the best in Jorge de Frutos.
Rayo Vallecano will not want to lose one of their key players, but they could be under pressure to sell if a lucrative offer comes in. Crystal Palace have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line, and it remains to be seen whether they submit an offer for the player.
Convincing the Spanish attacker to join the South London club should not be difficult. The Eagles have a more attractive project than the other two clubs in the race, and therefore, they should be able to close the deal if they are seriously interested in him.
Jorge de Frutos has shown his quality in La Liga this season, and he will look to make his Mark in the Premier League if the transfer goes through. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have also shown interest in other attackers, including Sidiki Cherif. So, it will be interesting to see who bolsters their offensive unit this month after Brennan Johnson.
