Crystal Palace Eye Yeremy Pino as Eze Replacement Amid Transfer Scramble
With just days left in the transfer window, the atmosphere around Crystal Palace feels tense and restless. The club has just lost its talisman, Eberechi Eze, to Arsenal in a deal worth more than £67 million. For the Gunners, it’s seen as a masterstroke, adding a creative force to Mikel Arteta’s squad as they chase Premier League glory. But for Palace, the departure has left a huge void, and finding the right replacement has become their top priority.
The name that keeps surfacing is Yeremy Pino. At just 22 years old, the Villarreal winger has already carved out a reputation in La Liga with his pace, directness, and ability to unlock defences. Last season, he registered four goals and ten assists across competitions. His contract carries a £67 million release clause, but Palace are believed to be hoping for a figure lower than that. Contacts have reportedly been made to explore the possibility, although Villarreal are not keen on parting with him this late in the summer.

For Palace, though, time is the enemy. Losing Eze this close to deadline day has left them scrambling, and Pino isn’t their only target. Another name in the frame is Southampton’s Tyler Dibling, a player Everton have been chasing all summer. Palace are thought to be considering an offer worth up to £45 million, including add-ons, in a bid to hijack Everton’s pursuit. It’s a bold move, but one that shows the desperation to bring in someone capable of carrying the creative load Eze once shouldered.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, the ripple effects of Eze’s move are being felt. Tottenham, who looked close to signing him before Arsenal swooped in, are now back at square one. Their search for an attacking midfielder has turned to Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche, a rising France Under-21 international. But with their need so obvious, Spurs may find themselves forced into overpaying.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are juggling financial restrictions while still chasing reinforcements. Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea has emerged as a target, with Unai Emery keen to reunite with the forward he once coached at Villarreal. Chelsea, however, value Jackson at over £60 million, and Villa have tentatively asked about a loan deal instead.
Beyond England, Gio Reyna’s time at Borussia Dortmund appears to be winding down. The American, whose career has been disrupted by injuries, has barely featured in recent seasons. Talks are said to be underway with Borussia Mönchengladbach, as Dortmund prepare to move on before his contract expires next summer.
For Palace, though, all eyes remain on the search for creativity. Losing Eze was a bitter blow, and the next few days will determine whether they can soften it with a marquee arrival. Whether it’s Pino, Dibling, or someone else entirely, the Eagles must act fast if they want to avoid being left short when the window slams shut.
