Palace linked with Uruguay star Diego Laxalt

Crystal Palace are one of several teams interested in a move to sign Uruguay wide man Diego Laxalt this summer.

According to a report from Calcio Mercato, Palace, Benfica, Galatasaray, Valencia and Wolfsburg are just some of the names considering moves for the player.

Laxalt was one of Uruguay’s standout performers during their World Cup run and caught the eye of many playing as an attacking full-back.

The 25-year-old has predominantly played more of an attacking role throughout his career but did a job for his national side in Russia and his performances have not gone unnoticed.

It had been suggested that clubs would have to pay around €15 million to sign him this summer, however, Genoa’s asking price is now believed to be closer €20 million as interest mounts.

Palace are in the market for reinforcements in wide areas with Andros Townsend being tipped to leave the club this summer.

West Ham’s Michail Antonio is also believed to be a target for the Eagles.
