No Fofana No Problem - Palace Have a New Man
Palace fans, have no fear, a new man is here. After it was reported that Malick Fofana was heading to Sunderland, it looked like no new winger would be heading to London. However, that is no longer the case.
Palace look to have landed a deal worth £24 million for 22-year-old Dario Osorio from Midtjylland. The wide creator looks set to be heading to Palace, and it is a great deal.

The transfer is a loan with a €26m+€4m obligation to buy. €2m loan fee. Midtjylland to retain a sell-on. Only final details remain.

Having scored six goals and provided six assists in 28 games last season, he has carried that form into this season. In his first five matches, he has one goal and two assists, and that is exactly what Palace need.
He can play all across the right side: wing-back, winger or wide midfielder. Everything and anything on that right side, he can do. With Munoz going, they needed this signing, and he can help fill those boots.
Bombing up the right side of the pitch, he will be an issue for everyone except Palace. Fofana, you can go. A new and improved man is here.
