Leicester’s Bilal El Khannouss emerges as Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze replacement | OneFootball

Having lost Michael Olise last summer, Crystal Palace could lose another of their forwards, Eberechi Eze, this summer.

The England international is a target for Arsenal and, according to French media Sports Zone, he has already agreed terms with the Gunners, who are now expected to submit a bid to Crystal Palace. Eze has a release clause that Arsenal may also be open to paying, and so, naturally, Crystal Palace are putting contingency plans in place.

French media Foot Mercato are now reporting that, in the event of Eze’s exit, Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss is the priority target for the South London club. However, there could be competition for the Morocco international. RB Leipzig, who could be about to lose Xavi Simons to Chelsea, have also added El Khannouss to their shortlist. AS Monaco, who may lose Maghnes Akliouche before the end of the summer, have also been previously linked with the Leicester City forward.
