Crystal Palace are monitoring FC Midtjylland's 23-year-old Turkish-Danish winger Aral Simsir, but face competition from Leeds United and Brentford. Brentford's interest is concrete and scouts from all three Premier League clubs were in attendance at the City Ground last week to watch Simsir during Midtjylland's Europa League draw with Nottingham Forest. The Danish club is preparing for significant summer interest in their squad, and Brentford's historical connections to Midtjylland could potentially give them an advantage in pursuing the player. This season, Şimşir has registered 8 goals and 13 assists in 21 Superliga appearances. He is under contract until the end of 2029 and has a current valuation of €6.00m on Transfermarkt. In February 2026, Midtjylland reportedly rejected an offer of over €10 million from Trabzonspor, following earlier bids from the same club in the range of €8 million to €8.5 million in January 2026.
