Crystal Palace, Leeds United, Everton and Fulham all want AJ Auxerre’s Lassine Sinayoko this summer.
Last month, Sport Witness relayed news that the Eagles identify the striker as an ideal candidate to improve their attack.
Leeds United, Everton and Fulham now join Crystal Palace in the race for the 26-year-old.
He graduated from the Ligue 1 side’s youth system and has been part of their first team since 2021.
This season, he’s scored 12 goals and contributed four assists from 32 league matches and had a direct role in over 47% of goals scored by Auxerre.
The Mali international is attracting interest from England and could move to the Premier League in this window.
Crystal Palace, Leeds, Everton and Fulham keen
Media Foot have a report on Lassine Sinayoko and their title says four English clubs want the AJ Auxerre star.
Within the report, they mention Crystal Palace, Leeds United, Everton and Fulham as his suitors.
The Premier League quartet have already expressed ‘very concrete interest’ in the player, who can also operate on both wings. These four clubs are ready to make bids, but the report makes no mention of the fee they are willing to offer.
Crystal Palace, Leeds United, Everton and Fulham’s firm desire to sign the Malian could further drive up the price. There’s also interest from unnamed German clubs.
Among these clubs, the UEFA Conference League winners are leading the race. The Eagles have appointed Pierre Sage as Oliver Glasner’s successor.
The new manager arrived from RC Lens and wanted to sign Sinayoko for his former club last summer. Media Foot claim Sage could tip the scale in Crystal Palace’s favour.
Player and Auxerre want summer transfer
In January, Lassine Sinayoko signed a contract until 2027, with an option for another year. Transfermarkt value him at €10m.
The report state the attacker has played his last match for the French club and has given the green light for the summer move. AJ Auxerre are also open to sanction a move and are hoping to collect over €15m.
This should well be within the reah of Crystal Palace, Leeds United, Everton and Fulham.
