De Boer keen on keeper Jasper Cillessen

Barcelona’s back-up goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen is rumoured to be a target for Frank De Boer’s Crystal Palace.

The Dutch stopper has already worked with De Boer back at Ajax and it seems as if current Palace ‘keeper Steve Mandanda is keen on a move away from the club.

According to AS (via Sport Witness) the man who cost Barcelona €13m last summer might be tempted by a move to the Premier League and re-unite with De Boer seeing as the World Cup is next year and he is hoping to be Holland’s number one.

The 28-year-old only managed to play in one La Liga game last season as he is firmly number two behind Marc-Andre Ter-Stegen at the Nou Camp.

De Boer will be hopeful that his relationship with Cillessen could be enough to persuade him to push for a move and if he does that and Palace are willing to stump up the cash, then the Dutchman could be between the sticks at Selhurst Park next year.

matchday.
