Crystal Palace are among a host of Premier League clubs eyeing a move for Toulouse defender Charlie Cresswell, according to TBR Football.
The Selhurst Park side have reportedly scouted the England U21 international in recent months and could be tempted by an opportunity to sign him next summer.
The report claims Cresswell could be available for as little as £15m after this season, which is not expected to be an obstacle for any interested Premier League club.
Cresswell, who joined Toulouse from Leeds United last summer, made 34 appearances for the Ligue 1 side in his first season, scoring four goals and providing two assists.
He has played every minute of the club’s league campaign in 2025/26 so far, helping Toulouse win three of their opening seven Ligue 1 games.

According to TBR Football, Cresswell’s performances at Toulouse are being closely watched by ‘half of the Premier League clubs’, with the 23-year-old impressing during his first 15 months in France.
Palace could look to reunite Cresswell with his former Toulouse teammate Jaydee Canvot, who joined the Selhurst Park side on the final day of the summer transfer window on a four-year contract.
The 19-year-old has yet to feature in the Premier League but made his Palace debut in their EFL Cup third-round win over Millwall last month, playing the full 90 minutes in a back three alongside Marc Guehi and Maxence Lacroix.
Palace, who are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham, are likely to be in the market for another central defender next summer, with Guehi expected to depart when his contract expires in June.
The England international came close to leaving the Eagles on transfer deadline day but saw his move to Liverpool fall through at the last minute, with Palace unable to secure a replacement in time.
Oliver Glasner’s side have started their Premier League campaign in superb fashion, losing just once in their opening seven games, and sit sixth in the table ahead of their home match against Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Eagles will be looking to bounce back following their 2-1 defeat at Everton before the international break, which ended their 18-game unbeaten run across all competitions.
