Palace target Diomande as centre-back amid Newcastle interest

The player has reportedly shown openness to a move to the Premier League, while Palace coach Oliver Glasner has given his backing to the pursuit.

The potential transfer carries extra significance due to previous interest from Newcastle United, adding an intriguing layer to the ongoing Premier League transfer market.

Crystal Palace's pursuit of the player could trigger a domino effect, particularly with the Magpies reportedly eyeing Palace centre-back Marc Guehi.

As talks continue, all eyes will be on whether Palace can secure the promising young defender and how this might influence other Premier League clubs' moves in the transfer window.
