According to the latest report from Sky Sports, English Premier League side Crystal Palace are keeping a close eye on Liverpool's defender Joe Gomez and are considering signing him to strengthen their backline. Although there has been no official contact between the two clubs, Crystal Palace's aggressive moves in the transfer market have shown their urgent need to strengthen their defense.
With Yossim Anorthan joining Fulham in a move for a whopping £30 million, Crystal Palace's backline has suffered a certain degree of weakening. As a result, they are in dire need of finding a suitable replacement to fill the gap and improve their overall defensive strength. As one of the longest serving players in Liverpool's first team, Joe Gomez's rich Premier League experience and stable defensive performance have naturally attracted the attention of Crystal Palace.
Joe Gomez, 27, has had a stellar career at Liverpool and is under contract with the club until the summer of 2027 and is currently valued at €28 million on the German transfer market. Although his playing opportunities at Liverpool are somewhat limited, his concentration on the field and deep understanding of the game will undoubtedly be of great help to Crystal Palace's backline.
