Crystal Palace to 'block' potential player exit in summer transfer window
Crystal Palace don’t want to sell the stopper this summer and intend to keep hold of him
Crystal Palace will ‘block’ any advances for Dean Henderson this summer, according to Football Insider. The Eagles want to keep hold of the goalkeeper in the next transfer window. They have no plans to cash in on him amid expected attention from elsewhere.
Oliver Glasner’s side were beaten 2-1 away at Manchester United over the weekend. Defender Maxence Lacroix got their goal against the Red Devils. However, they weren’t able to get anything from the game at Old Trafford.
Crystal Palace stance on Dean Henderson
Crystal Palace have no intention of letting Henderson go in the near future. He has been a key player for the South London outfit over recent times and helped them win the FA Cup last year. His contract at Selhurst Park expires in June 2028.
Henderson, who is an England international with four caps to his name, joined the Eagles back in 2023. He has since become their first choice in South London. The 28-year-old has made 98 appearances in all competitions, 34 of which have come in this campaign.
The Cumbria-born man rose up through Manchester United’s ranks and went on to play 29 matches for their first-team during his days at Old Trafford. He was also loaned out by the Red Devils to Stockport County, Grimsby Town, Shrewsbury Town, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest to get some experience under his belt and to boost his development. Crystal Palace then subsequently snapped him up on a permanent basis and he hasn’t looked back since.
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Dean Henderson at Crystal Palace
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Henderson recently. Ex-football chief executive Mick Brown has told Football Insider: “Tottenham are looking at a few new goalkeepers. If they can come to an agreement to sell Vicario in the summer, they’re going to need to bring in a replacement for him and somebody who will improve their side. The Crystal Palace goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, is somebody I hear Tottenham have been impressed by.
“Since the start of last season, he’s really upped his game for Palace and has become a crucial part of the success he’s had, he’s become a really top-class goalkeeper. He’s an England international as well which will always appeal to a side like Tottenham.”
