‘I expect’ – Crystal Palace boss quizzed on transfer links for Chelsea defender

Oliver Glasner has hinted he expects Crystal Palace to sign a left wing-back before the transfer window shuts on Monday night.

Our paper understands that the Eagles are in talks with Chelsea to sign Ben Chilwell on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Palace have targeted competition and cover for Tyrick Mitchell throughout the winter and initially set out to sign.

When asked about potentially landing Chilwell before tomorrow’s deadline, Glasner said: 

“We had many talks during the week because we had two really tough injuries – Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad missing for the rest of the season.

“Let’s see. I expect one more signing in a position where we have maybe just one player playing with their good foot there. 

“Let’s see who it will be.”
