Oliver Glasner has already taken one of his former players to Crystal Palace, now two more are being linked.
Daichi Kamada was the second summer signing Crystal Palace brought to the club this summer – a player Oliver Glasner worked with at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Glasner wants players he knows he can trust, and now an offer has been reported for the Eagles’ Maxence Lacroix to replace Marco Guehi.
But that’s not the only player Dougie Freedman is trying to sign with the club also keen on Trevoh Chalobah.
Palace are also still in the market for another former Glasner player.
Crystal Palace remain interested in Filip Kostic
The latest player previously managed by Glasner to be linked with a move to Selhurst Park is Juventus’ Filip Kostic.
That’s according to Il Bianco Nero, who report that Kostic is almost certain to leave this summer after being sent off in a friendly earlier this week.
His agent is said to be making moves to find the Serb a new home, with Palace taking the first steps to sign him.
Both Fenerbahce and Atletico Madrid are interested in Orle. Neither move seems hot right now, though it could accelerate at any time.
Juventus are looking for a fee of around £6m for a player who would do well as a back-up to Tyrick Mitchell.
Is Kostić worth signing?
After rejecting a deal for Ryan Sessegnon, some thought Glasner was reluctant to bring in a full-back, but Kostic would certainly be in that position.
Kostic is not a flashy name signing to inspire and excite the fans, but he has some excellent qualities that could benefit Palace.
Mitchell’s strengths don’t come in the opposite half, so signing Kostic, who can play against smaller teams or come off the bench to help the attack, would be a good option.
Kostic creates a lot of chances and is incredibly advanced on the ball, which could be similar to Daniel Munoz’s strike on the right. While he won’t be a starter, he’s still the best signing for the right price.
