Crystal Palace reportedly want to bring Milot Rashica to the Premier League from Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen.
Ask the average football fan about Milot Rashica and you would probably be greeted with a blank stare and a quick browse of Wikipedia. But, with more displays like Wednesday night’s, it is only a matter of time before the Kosovo international is a household name across Europe.
Crystal Palace already know just how talented Rashica is. Calciomercato reported in February that they are looking at the Werder Bremen forward, and it just so happens that his form has exploded since then.
The former Vitesse Arnhem forward has scored 10 times in 2019 alone and not even the mighty Bayern Munich could find a way to stop him. Niko Kovac’s side might have progressed to the DFB Pokal final in midweek thanks to a contentious Robert Lewandowski penalty but they were given an almighty scare by a Rashica-inspired Bremen.
The 22-year-old used all his speed and skill to set up Yuya Osako’s goal to halve Bayern’s two-goal lead before levelling the scores immediately from kick off, making 2014 World Cup winner Mats Hummels look like Bambi on ice before slotting brilliantly into the far corner.
It was a fabulous individual performance, highlighting Rashica’s ability to make the difference against top opposition.
Whisper it, but Palace might have found a forward with even more potential than a certain Wilfried Zaha.
