As the January transfer window moves on, The Crystal Palace now they have reportedly been given the chance to sign an alternative option for Wilfried Zaha in a deal worth as much as £21m this month.
Crystal Palace transfer news
Zaha is again a name mentioned in the transfer window, which would be the second time he has returned to Selhurst Park during a mixed career. Cold water was quickly poured on the burning transfer flames, however, with FIFA regulations stipulating that players can only play official games for two clubs in the same season. Of course, Zaha has already played for Galatasaray and on loan in Lyon in the current campaign.
With that said, those at Selhurst Park now have to turn to alternative options that could yet lead them to a certain Premier League wing this month.
According to Caught Offside, Crystal Palace have now been offered the chance to sign Miguel Almiron in the January transfer window as Newcastle United look to cash in on their unloved winger, who is valued at between €20-25m (£17-21m).

Premier League proven AlmironA move away from St James’ Park seems inevitable and Crystal Palace could still take full advantage of the offer sent to them.
However, with the likes of them, the Eagles will have to make a decision sooner rather than later Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City have also submitted the same offer to Newcastle to potentially form an interesting battle this month.
Crystal Palace could revive the “magical” Almiron
Just two seasons ago, Almiron shocked the Premier League and proved Jack Grealish wrong by finally adding some much-needed goals to his game in an impressive run. Despite having a hand 15 goals in all competitions that season, Almiron has since failed to move on and has instead moved ever closer to the Newcastle exit door.
Praised by Eddie Howe for his “magical” performances during that torrid season, Almiron could rediscover that form in front of the Selhurst Park faithful in what would be a win-win scenario for both the Eagles and the struggling winger.
However, it remains to be seen whether Palace will be willing to match the hefty £21m price tag that Newcastle placed on their winger this month, especially given the fact that he will be available as a free agent in 2026.
Still just six points clear of the relegation zone as the Premier League enters the second half of the campaign, Palace could certainly do with some extra experience, but paying £21 million for a player who has yet to score a single goal all season may not be the answer to their current problems under Oliver Glasner.
