Crystal Palace are reported to be interested in signing Club Brugge attacker Christos Tzoris at the start of the season.
However, the Belgian club rejected the offer and Tzoris has been outstanding for the team this season.
He has played in 30 games and has scored 11 goals and provided 15 assists. Signing the 23-year-old would have been an unusual move for Crystal Palace.
They needed more quality and depth in the side, especially after the departure of Eberechi Eze. Tzoris would have been a great addition for them.
Crystal Palace signed Brennan Johnson from Tottenham earlier this month, but it seems unlikely they will sign the Greece attacker anytime soon.
Tzoris has recently been linked with Liverpool.
Christos Tsolis talks about the failure of his palace move
The player revealed in an interview that he was tempted to join Crystal Palace when the offer was presented to him at the start of the season. He explained that he enjoyed playing for the Eagles under Oliver Glasner and would have loved the opportunity to join them.
It remains to be seen whether Crystal Palace decide to add another attacker to their squad during the January period.
He said (h/t SportWitness): “A little bit. I like the way Crystal Palace play football (I think). I thought it would be a good opportunity, but I immediately told Devi Rigaud and the staff that I wouldn’t overdo it,” Tzoris explained.
“If I didn’t want to practice or play because I wanted to make sure I transferred, it wouldn’t be good for the team. I’m not like that.”
“I had signed a new contract a month earlier. But if you get an offer, you listen to it. But I didn’t want to go to Crystal Palace at all costs. I had no problem staying. I don’t regret anything. In fact, it was even the best choice.”
Palace did well
They have had a very good run under manager Oliver Glasner, recently winning the FA Cup and Community Shield.
They are competing in European football and will need to continue to improve their team if they want to succeed at the highest level. A player like Tzoris can make a big difference in the final third.
He will add goals, creativity and unpredictability in the final third.
