Crystal Palace’s continued pursuit of Lens midfielder Cheick Doucoure has now taken another step forward as the Eagles have reportedly upped their bid for the highly-coveted Mali international.
Doucoure is said to be Palace’s number one transfer target this summer and has reportedly already agreed on personal terms with Patrick Vieira’s side. The sticking point at the moment is agreeing on a transfer fee, but it’s not just Palace in discussions with Lens, with several other Premier League clubs reportedly talking to the French side about the midfielder.
With more twists and turns in the deal expected to follow, football.london have taken the chance to map out how we got to this point, with Palace now said to be upping their initial offer for Doucoure in order to push the deal through as soon as possible.
