Premier League outfit Everton could reportedly offer Ademola Lookman or Cenk Tosun to Crystal Palace as part of a potential deal for Wan-Bissaka.
It’s hard to believe that Aaron Wan-Bissaka only made his Premier League debut in February. Because the Cafu of Croydon appears to have been around forever – or at least he is playing like it.
Crystal Palace’s 20-year-old wonder-kid has not only established himself as an integral part of Roy Hodgson’s starting XI, he is also now one of the most talented young players in the Premier League and English football as a whole.
Furthermore, Wan-Bissaka is a local lad, born in Croydon, who has been part of Crystal Palace since the age of 11. He’s a fan as well as a player and a hugely popular figure both on the pitch and in the stands.
So Everton are surely wasting their time as they plot an ambitious move to bring Wan-Bissaka to Goodison Park as a long-term successor for Seamus Coleman.
The Sun reports that Everton could offer Ademola Lookman or £27 million striker Cenk Tosun to Palace in order to sweeten a potential deal to bring Wan-Bissaka to Merseyside.
But while Lookman and Tosun would surely help to ease Palace’s goal-scoring problems, selling the homegrown starlet would provoke a hugely negative response from the Selhurst Park faithful.
Wan-Bissaka is simply irreplaceable and letting him go to Everton is a move the already under-fire chairman Steve Parish cannot afford to make.
