Crystal Palace Tracking Antoine Mendy as Eagles Weigh £15.4m Defensive MoveCrystal Palace are giving serious consideration to a move for Antoine Mendy, with TeamTalk reporting that the Eagles are monitoring the Nice defender closely as they assess defensive additions this summer. That creates a competitive environment and places some pressure on Palace if they decide Mendy is a priority. Our ViewFrom a Crystal Palace perspective, this feels like the kind of signing that makes a lot of sense. The most encouraging line in this report is probably the one about his “athleticism, physical presence and versatility”. If Italian clubs and Monaco are circling, Palace cannot afford to admire the player for too long without making a concrete move.
