Crystal Palace Joins Premier League Chase for Ivorian Defender Wilfried Singo

Crystal Palace enters the race for Wilfried Singo as interest continues to rise around the Ivorian right-back, who may leave Galatasaray sooner than expected.

Singo joined the Turkish champions last summer, yet his performances already attract strong attention from clubs across Europe.

Premier League sides have monitored him for weeks, and the list of suitors keeps growing.

Everton, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Brighton and Aston Villa all admire the former Monaco defender.

Their interest intensifies as the winter transfer window approaches, and the competition for his signature becomes even more active.

Crystal Palace now positions itself firmly in that group. Journalist Ekrem Konur reports that the London club views Singo as a possible replacement if Daniel Muñoz leaves Selhurst Park.

At the same time, another unnamed club has already opened talks with the player’s agent.

Manchester United and Arsenal also follow the situation closely, making Singo one of the most sought-after full-backs of the upcoming window.

Singo continues to play regularly for Galatasaray, and his consistency strengthens his market profile.

He earns €6 million per year and remains under contract with the club until June 2030.

Since the start of the season, he has featured in nine matches across all competitions and delivered one assist.

Transfermarkt values him at €28 million, a figure that reflects both his potential and his growing reputation.

Singo’s future remains open, and the coming weeks may determine whether Galatasaray can keep their Ivorian defender or whether the Premier League offers a new challenge.
