Andoni Iraola picked out a compatriot among the Crystal Palace ranks for credit.
**Bournemouth**travel to Selhurst Park to play against the Eagles, who only just saw a 19 match unbeaten run ended at **Everton**before the international break. However, Iraola’s men are unbeaten in three fixtures against Oliver Glasner, having drawn 0-0 twice and won 1-0 back in April 2024.
If Palace are going to end that run, they will be looking to a summer signing for some inspiration. After the club chose to let go of their talismanic ten, they spent a portion of the recouped transfer fee on Yeremy Pino, who had been a key squad member for **Villarreal**and also a **Spain**international.
He is a forward whom Iraola recognises from his time in charge of Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga. Though the 22-year-old has not got a goal or assist across five fixtures in the Premier League, he remains a threat to be respected in the eyes of the Basque boss and a player to watch for the future.
*“They have also replaced Eberechi Eze, that is really the only big name they've lost with Yeremy Pino, that I know him very well.*
“He is a great player and also very suited to the position and basically doesn't change the way they play. We are ready. It's not going to be easy, we know, but the Premier League is always difficult.
“I think he has been performing already really well, consistently. It's not just a young player that’s starting now. Has been given a high level in Spain for the last years. Playing for the national team, playing in Europe.
“It's not a big surprise. he has been very good, I think for Palace also the games he's played and I don't think it's a big gamble. You know, he's like a proven player already, even if he's still very young.”
