Crystal Palace linked with Sarr move

Crystal Palace have been linked with an ambitious move for Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr.

According to claims from France Football, as translated by Sport Witness, the Eagles are in the race to recruit the Senegal international and could make a ‘significant offer’ to sign him.

Sarr has impressed in Ligue 1 for several seasons now and since his €17 million move to Rennes from Metz, speculation surrounding a switch to England has continued to surface.

Arsenal have been touted as a potential destination for the winger and this is again alluded to by France Football.

However, Roy Hodgson’s Palace are noted as suitors for Sarr, who has established himself as a talismanic figure for his side this season.

The 20-year-old has impressed with his pace and energy across the front three for Rennes and has found the back of the net on five occasions in Ligue 1 so far.

If the Eagles are to lure Sarr away from France, though, it seems they will be forced to stump up a huge fee. It is reported that Rennes will demand a sum upwards of €30 million for their young forward.
