Crystal Palace could sign Wolves target Christantus Uche on deadline day | OneFootball

Crystal Palace are interested in signing Christantus Uche from Getafe, according to journalist Loic Tanzi.

Wolverhampton Wanderers had been chasing him for some time, but the Eagles have now swooped.

Palace are desperate for reinforcements after a sluggish transfer window, and their radar has landed on the industrious Uche.

Even though Getafe manager Jose Bordalas doesn’t want to let Uche go, reiterating that he is an ‘important player’, he is on his way to Palace.

The 22-year-old Nigerian international is a powerful attacking midfielder. He is a potentially fantastic weapon for Palace, especially following Eberechi Eze’s departure.

Uche works incredibly hard defensively and has been making massive improvements in the attacking phase.

He delivered 10 goal contributions last season and has started the current campaign in top form.

Uche can add a new dimension to Palace’s attack as they look to improve on their 12th-place Premier League finish last term.

Palace’s board have let Glasner down

While Uche’s arrival may paper over the cracks, it does not hide the bigger issue. The Palace board has squandered a golden chance to push the club forward.

After lifting the FA Cup and Community Shield, Palace had the perfect platform to attract quality players and build a squad capable of consolidating their success.

However, they are scrambling around for players at the final hour.

Manager Oliver Glasner has every right to feel betrayed. Deadline day should never be a desperate rescue mission for a club that has tasted silverware.

Yet here Palace stand, playing catch-up while rivals strengthen. The board’s lack of urgency has been ponderous, and supporters are right to feel disillusioned.
