The latest transfer rumours surrounding Crystal Palace include a new link to Turkish-Danish winger Aral Şimşir. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 8 possible arrivals and 3 potential exits. The hottest storyline right now is about Patrick Agyemang, and below is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours.
Aral Şimşir
On Thursday, it was reported that Crystal Palace are monitoring FC Midtjylland's 23-year-old winger Aral Şimşir, but face competition from Leeds United and Brentford. Brentford's interest is said to be concrete, and scouts from all three Premier League clubs were in attendance at the City Ground last week to watch Şimşir during Midtjylland's Europa League draw with Nottingham Forest. The Danish club is preparing for significant summer interest, though Brentford's historical connections to Midtjylland could give them an advantage. This season, Şimşir has registered 8 goals and 13 assists in 21 Superliga appearances and is under contract until 2029. In February 2026, Midtjylland reportedly rejected an offer of over €10 million from Trabzonspor.
Nicolò Barella
Crystal Palace are monitoring Inter Milan midfielder Nicolò Barella, but according to a report on Wednesday, they face competition from Newcastle United. A report from SportsBoom states that Newcastle have identified the 29-year-old as a target and could make a £40 million offer in the summer. It might be difficult for Palace to convince Barella to join as they are not at a level to compete for trophies and manager Oliver Glasner is set to leave.
Adam Wharton
The most recent update on Wednesday, from a TEAMtalk report citing claims from Spain, states that Liverpool are targeting Adam Wharton in this summer’s transfer window. The report mentioned a potential £245m acquisition of three players which would involve Wharton, Alessandro Bastoni, and Bradley Barcola.
Barış Alper Yılmaz
On Tuesday, it was reported that scout teams from Crystal Palace, Brighton, and Newcastle United are scheduled to watch Barış Alper Yılmaz at Anfield. Crystal Palace has reportedly been in contact with the player's manager for some time. The three teams are expected to continue following the player until the end of the season and will make an offer to Galatasaray at that time.
Femi Azeez
According to a Team Talk report on Tuesday, Crystal Palace are well-placed to sign Femi Azeez. This followed a report on Friday that the club has conducted a detailed assessment of the Millwall winger, and a transfer to Selhurst Park could occur in the summer, irrespective of who replaces Oliver Glasner as manager.
Myles Lewis-Skelly
Myles Lewis-Skelly has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace. According to a CaughtOffside report on Tuesday, Arsenal are now open to agreeing a loan deal for the player when the summer window opens, and Palace is among the teams interested in signing him on loan.
Patrick Agyemang
On Monday, it was reported that while Crystal Palace were interested in Patrick Agyemang during the January window, the arrival of Jorgen Strand Larsen is likely to end their pursuit. However, other reports from Monday state that both Leeds and Crystal Palace remain interested. Goal.com reports that Palace are serious contenders to sign the Derby striker as the club looks to restructure its attack and plan for Jean-Philippe Mateta's expected departure. His manager, John Eustace, noted that Agyemang wants to play in the Premier League.
