Crystal Palace

Former Premier League winger Wilfried Zaha is in the final stages of joining Major League Soccer side Charlotte FC, on loan from Galatasaray, according to multiple sources briefed on the deal. Zaha is expected to join on a one-year loan with an option to extend through the summer of 2026, that will terminate his current loan arrangement at Lyon. Zaha, 32, joined the Ligue 1 club in August last year but has only made six appearances in all competitions and has started only one game. Zaha signed for Galatasaray in July 2023 after his contract expired at Crystal Palace, where he had spent a...

Oliver Glasner is doing well with an increasingly thin squad — but now is the time to strengthen his hand

Chelsea have activated a clause to recall Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. Chalobah joined Palace on a season-long deal that included an option for Chelsea to bring him back at the midway point. They have now triggered that mechanism and the 25-year-old defender will return to Stamford Bridge with immediate effect. It means he will not be available for Palace when they travel to Leicester City on Wednesday, having made 14 appearances since moving there in August. Chalobah’s impressive form — and availability to help a back line depleted by injury — means he is...

The boss of French football’s financial regulator has hit back at criticisms made by Lyon owner John Textor, accusing the American of a “clear and persistent lack of understanding” of the rules. In a long interview with French radio station RMC on Monday evening, Textor said November’s decision by the Direction Nationale du Controle de Gestion (DNCG) to provisionally relegate Lyon to Ligue 2 next season over concerns with the club’s finances was “preposterous”. Textor, whose Eagle Football Group also owns 45 per cent of Crystal Palace and majority stakes in Brazilian champions...

Crystal Palace’s squad has been struck by illness with several players unable to train before their FA Cup clash with Stockport County on Sunday. Oliver Glasner’s side has been hit badly with only 15 players well and fit enough to participate in training this week, supplemented by a handful of under-21 players. Palace are already without Adam Wharton as he recovers from his groin surgery, and Matheus Franca will not return until the middle of February, while Will Hughes remains a doubt after sustaining a swollen foot which required stitches in the defeat by Southampton. They have been...
