Four Premier League clubs are ‘currently in talks’ with Crystal Palace target Lassine Sinayoko over a potential move this summer.

Crystal Palace went through a rollercoaster of a season, winning the Conference League and booking their spot in the Europa League, but finishing 15th in the Premier League.

The Eagles parted ways with highly successful manager Oliver Glasner, who left unhappy at what he felt was a lack of backing in the transfer market, and have reached an agreement with Lens on a compensation package for boss Pierre Sage.

Now, Crystal Palace will turn their attention to the summer transfer window to strengthen their squad, especially in attack, as talisman Jean-Philippe Mateta has garnered interest from several clubs, including Besiktas.

It appears that one of their main targets in the upcoming summer transfer window is Sinayoko, who has had an impressive campaign in Ligue 1 with Auxerre.

Now the race for Sinayoko is heating up.

Four unnamed Premier League clubs are currently in discussions with Sinayoko’s representatives, but nothing has been finalised yet, according to French-Algerian journalist Samir Djabali.

Sinayoko came through  Auxerre’s academy, signing is first professional contract in 2019, and under his current deal, the French club have him locked down until 2027, with an option for a further year.

The 26-year-old forward scored 12 goals and chipped in with four assists in 32 Ligue 1 appearances this term and also won Auxerre’s Fans’ Player of the Season award.

The Mali international is informed about the growing interest from several teams across Europe, but he has insisted he is calm ahead of the opening of the transfer window.

Crystal Palace invested heavily in attack in the recent campaign, bringing in Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves, Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur, and Yeremy Pino from Villarreal.

But it seems that the Eagles are looking to bring in more firepower in the summer transfer window, with the added pressure of the Europa League, and Mateta is also a target for Italian giants Juventus.

Sinayoko still has one-year left on his contract, with the option of a one-year extension, which puts Auxerre in a strong position in any transfer negotiations discussion this summer.

It remains to be seen which four clubs have shown interest in Sinayoko and whether Crystal Palace will be able to land the 26-year-old forward.
