After losing Michael Olise, there is a distinct lack of magic on the right side of Crystal Palace’s attack.
The Frenchman may be off scoring goals in the Champions League for Bayern Munich, but back at Selhurst Park, he is missed.
Ismaila Sarr and Daichi Kamada were thought to be able to replace Olise in the aggregate but thus far neither has stuck – Eddie Nketiah has been used there too but he is a striker not a winger.
This has been reflected in the opening six games of the season as Crystal Palace have struggled to get things ticking – Tuesday’s narrow win over QPR showing this perfectly as a first win in the league continues to elude the club.
But now, Dougie Freedman could be eyeing a special talent for the left side.Crystal Palace eyeing up Tyler Dibling
Over the past few years, several young players have moved to Crystal Palace as young talents to then blossom into being a star – Adam Wharton being the most recent example.
Due to this, it is easy to see why young players may be tempted by interest from the Eagles and now Freedman will look to play this hand in the bid to sign an 18-year-old who is fast becoming the most sought-after teenager in the league.Tyler Dibling has burst into the mainstream after his exciting opening half-hour against Manchester United in which he had Diogo Dalot on strings.
After this, the reports have already started of clubs pondering a move for him and according to GiveMeSport, Crystal Palace are among the numerous clubs pondering a move for the wonderkid.
The Eagles join Aston Villa, Manchester United and numerous other big clubs in the race to sign the England U19 who has been compared with £100m Jack Grealish.
In order to convince Dibling, Crystal Palace will be able to point toward Olise who shone at Selhurst Park before heading to Bayern Munich, Dibling could be offered a similar career path.Selhurst Park could do with a player like Southampton’s No.33
- The start of the season for Crystal Palace makes it abundantly clear that the Eagles should have pushed harder to secure a better Olise replacement.
There were links to Antonio Nusa and Jaden Philogene who would have been exciting and talented additions – well Dibling fits into that category.
Labelled by his teammate Yukinari Sugawara backing the wonderkid to become “one of the best” in the entire Premier League, and with his potential, there is every chance of this happening.
Dibling would not be cheap no matter where he goes, but if Steve Parish is serious about pushing up the table – these are the kinds of signings that should be made.
Hopefully, the Eagles are at least in the race come January or next summer.
