Crystal Palace targeting Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney | OneFootball

Crystal Palace are looking to bolster their squad this summer and have Hayden Hackney on their shortlist of potential additions.

According to the Daily Mail, Palace are targeting the Middlesbrough man who could replace either Daichi Kamada or Adam Wharton in the centre of the park.

Kamada will likely leave Selhurst Park when his contract expires in June, while Wharton is attracting transfer interest from around Europe.

Hackney would be a fantastic pick-up for the Eagles, having established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Championship.

The 23-year-old bagged five goals and seven assists in 39 Championship outings this term, continuing his remarkable performances from last season.

He was voted the English Football League Championship Player of the Season and made the team of the season. Hackney has been described as a ‘midfielder who offers everything‘.

Elsewhere, Palace are casting their net for Celta Vigo full-back Oscar Mingueza to provide competition for Daniel Munoz.

He is a player of interest after his excellent campaign in La Liga, but signing him will be far from straightforward.

The Spaniard is available on a free transfer and has attracted attention from several clubs across Europe.

Palace will face fierce competition if they want to bring him to Selhurst Park.

Newcastle United striker William Osula is another player admired by the Eagles. Unfortunately, that deal also looks complicated.

The Magpies demand a sizeable fee for the Denmark star after a very promising campaign.

Palace may hesitate to commit such a large sum while balancing other priorities in the squad.
