Crystal Palace are now monitoring the £35m player, who have doubts over Marc Gueh’s future.

Why did Chelsea finally turn the corner? Crystal Palace are now monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt No.3 Willian Pacho over Marc Gueh’s future as a doubt.

That’s what TEAMtalk says.

So what was said about Crystal Palace and Willian Pacho? Let’s see…

What is the story? Well, it is said that Manchester United are tracking Guehi – with Arsenal and Tottenham also admirers of the England international.

TEAMtalk believe Crystal Palace are in no rush to sell the 23-year-old or Joachim Andersen, but are still exploring potential replacements in case one of the duo departs Selhurst Park.

One name on Dougie Freedman’s radar is Pacho.

The Ecuador international only joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Royal Antwerp back in June in a deal worth £8m.

Pacho has performed so well in Germany that TEAMtalk believe the Bundesliga outfit now value him at £35m. Crystal Palace are said to be exploring the German market in particular for further support, while Everton and West Ham are also monitoring the South American centre-back.

The William Pacho rumor should encourage Crystal Palace fans

We know nobody at Selhurst Park wants to even consider losing Gueh or Andersen – they are that good.

However, it should encourage fans to see that replacements are already on the way.

We lost a key man several times under Steve Parish without an immediate replacement.

For example, Aaron Wan-Bissaka was allowed to leave for Manchester United in July 2019, and Roy Hodgson still uses 33-year-old Joel Ward on the right wing. That’s why — while losing Gueh or Andersen would hurt the Eagles — it’s good to see some very talented defensemen committed to the game if one of the influential duo leaves.
