Crystal Palace now eyeing exciting move for player dubbed 'best in the world' at what he does

Crystal Palace are looking to bring former defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka back from Manchester United this summer, according to a fresh transfer rumour.

The Englishman traded the Eagles for United in a big-money transfer in the summer of 2019, having caught the eye hugely with his performances in the Premier League.

Things haven’t panned out the way Wan-Bissaka would have hoped at Old Trafford, however, with the right-back really struggling to make his mark and finding himself in and out of the team, starting just 20 of 35 league matches this term.

With Erik ten Hag coming in as manager, it could be that he deems the defender surplus to requirements, allowing him to find another club immediately.

According to The Athletic, Palace are interested in bringing Wan-Bissaka back to the club at the end of the season, with a loan move mooted initially.

He is seen as someone who could be an upgrade at right-back on the ageing Nathaniel Clyne, returning to the club he joined as a boy and helping strengthen Patrick Vieira’s squad.

While Wan-Bissaka has plenty of critics after a poor spell at United, coming back to Palace this summer could end up being the ideal solution for all parties.

He was once hailed as the ‘best in the world’ in one-on-one situations by Jamie Carragher and he was superb for the Eagles, hence United wanting to sign him in the first place.

At 24, there would be no concern surrounding Palace re-signing a player who is past his best and Vieira could see the best of him again back in familiar surroundings.
