Crystal Palace are interested in Lyon's 25-year-old Czechia attacking midfielder Pavel Šulc, and other Premier League clubs are also monitoring him. Leeds United have been pursuing the player since last summer, and Aston Villa have also recently checked on him. Additionally, Brentford, Brighton, Everton, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth have all checked on him in recent weeks. Crystal Palace's interest is part of a possible double deal, as the club has also been working on a transfer for Šulc's teammate Tyler Morton and may attempt a combined move involving Lyon owner and former Palace co-owner John Textor. Šulc has 18 caps and 4 goals for his country and joined the French club in August 2025 for a fee that was reported as €7.5 million plus €2.5 million in bonuses. In the current Ligue 1 season, he has 3 goals and 2 assists in 10 appearances, and his contract with Lyon runs until June 2029. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €12 million.
