Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Newcastle United, West Ham United vying for Charlie Cresswell
Liverpool, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, and West Ham United are keen on signing 23-year-old English defender Charlie Cresswell in the coming months.
According to TBR Football, they are impressed with the performances of the former Leeds United defender, and they are looking to bring him back to the Premier League. He is currently playing for French club Toulouse, and he has done quite well for them. The defender is reportedly valued at £15 million, and he could prove to be a bargain at that price.
Liverpool need to bring in a quality central defender in the coming months, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to sign Cresswell. The asking price is quite nominal for a club of their resources, and they should be able to get the deal done. They will need to replace Ibrahima Konaté if the French defender decides to leave the club in the summer. The Englishman could prove to be the ideal long-term replacement.
Palace, Newcastle and West Ham also keen
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace need to sign a quality defender as well. Marc Guéhi will leave the club when his contract expires in the summer, and they need to replace the England international. The 23-year-old would be ideal for them.
As for Newcastle, they have ageing defenders like Fabian Schär and Dan Burn at their disposal. They need to add more quality and depth for the long term, and signing the former Leeds defender could be ideal for them.
West Ham have looked quite vulnerable defensively this season, and they have started the season poorly. They need to tighten up at the back in order to bounce back strongly. They need to sign a quality defender for the future, and the 23-year-old could be ideal for them. He has all the tools to develop into a top-class Premier League defender, and he could be an asset for the Hammers if they manage to get the deal done.
All four clubs have the resources to pay £15 million for him, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. The opportunity to return to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him, and he will look to establish himself as a key player in the English top flight.
