Who says transfer window launched in England often says first follies of clubs in difficulty to try to save themselves. Stuck at the bottom of the Premier League standings, Crystal Palace is already active in the transfer window, and has targeted Scottish striker Ben Doak. Loaned by Liverpool to Middlesbrough, the versatile 19-year-old winger has scored two goals and distributed five assists in 20 games since the start of the Championship season. He is one of the main architects of Boro’s good season, fifth in the standings and among the very serious competitors going up.
The Eagles are reportedly preparing an offer of more than 18 million euros for the Scottish nugget, and Liverpool’s interest in central defender Marc Guéhi could facilitate negotiations between the two teams. Ben Doak arrived on the Mersey from Celtic Glasgow two years ago, and could finally get his chance to shine in the Premier League, having played three league games in the Reds jersey.
