Crystal Palace’s top summer transfer target for the 2023/24 Premier League is Abdul Fatawu Issahaku of Sporting CP as revealed on Saturday, August 11 after Palace’s 1-0 win Sheffield United.
After losing Wilfried Zaha as a free agent, the Eagles are looking for a winger and have their eyes on the 19-year-old Ghanaian international who can play both flanks.
Per reports, Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor has asked about the conditions to sign the talented Ghana forward.

Although the winger’s current deal with the Portuguese team expires in 2027, Crystal Palace may benefit from another factor. According to reports in several Portuguese newspapers, Sporting manager Ruben Amorim has not included Fatawu in his plans for the upcoming campaign. He currently trains with their B team.
