In the latest Crystal Palace transfer news, Villarreal winger Yeremy Pino is travelling to London to complete a move after the Premier League side agreed a deal worth up to €26million (£21.5m).
The 22-year-old Spain international is due to undergo a medical on Thursday before signing a five-year contract at Selhurst Park.
Yeremy Pino Crystal Palace Transfer
Pino has spent his entire senior career with Villarreal, making more than 150 appearances since his debut in 2020.
Last season, he started 25 league matches, scoring four goals and providing seven assists as Villarreal secured a fifth-place finish in La Liga.
The winger also began this campaign in strong form, registering an assist in last weekend’s 5-0 win over Girona.
He has 15 caps for Spain since 2021, scoring three goals for the national team.
Crystal Palace Transfer News: Will They Sign Pino and Nelson?
Pino is not the only attacking reinforcement Palace are targeting.
Talks have been ongoing with Arsenal regarding Reiss Nelson, with the Eagles hoping to strike a deal worth around £15m for the Hale End graduate.
Arsenal are keen to secure a fee that counts as pure profit, given Nelson’s homegrown status.
Nelson has also been attracting interest from Sevilla. The Spanish side prefer a loan deal, but Arsenal are holding out for a permanent transfer worth between £15–20m.
Fulham were previously interested in the winger, but they are now pursuing AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze and Shakhtar Donetsk’s Kevin instead.
The potential double deal for Pino and Nelson highlights Palace’s determination to refresh their attacking options following Eberechi Eze’s £67.5m move to Arsenal earlier this summer.
Palace have already signed left-back Borna Sosa and goalkeeper Walter Benitez this summer.
Marc Guehi’s future remains uncertain, with Liverpool pushing to complete a move before the transfer deadline. Palace are reluctant sellers but may have to cash in given the defender’s contract situation.
Yeremy Pino’s arrival gives Oliver Glasner’s side much-needed creativity and directness from wide areas. At just 22, he has top-flight and international experience and represents a long-term investment.
If Palace can also secure Nelson, their squad will have more depth and attacking balance heading into the season.
