Crystal Palace are reportedly keeping tabs on Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Eagles are believed to be tracking the La Liga pair ahead of the next transfer window.

According to a report by ElDesmarque, representatives from the London club have been watching the duo in action over recent times. Fellow Premier League sides West Ham and Leicester City are also believed to be in the frame.

Crystal Palace could see Musah as someone to bolster their options in the middle of the park. Current loan man Albert Sambi Lokonga is due to return to Arsenal this summer which would leave a vacancy to fill in midfield.

Musah, who is 20-years-old, would be a useful long-term option at Selhurst Park. He has played for Valencia since 2019 and has made 105 appearances in all competitions for them to date, chipping in with five goals. The New York-born man is also a USA international with 25 caps under his belt and caught the eye at the World Cup in Qatar last winter.

Crystal Palace may look at Mamardashvili as someone to compete with Sam Johnstone and Vicente Guaita between the sticks next term. The 22-year-old has been his current club’s number one in this campaign and they could face a battle to keep hold of him.

The Georgia international moved to the Mestella back in 2021 from Dinamo Tbilisi and hasn’t looked back since. He has played 58 games to date but is attracting attention from elsewhere at the moment.

Roy Hodgson has managed to keep the Eages in the top flight after some impressive results since taking over from Patrick Viera. His side are now 12th in the table behind Chelsea with three games left to play with a home clash against Bournemouth up next.
