Glasner plans transfers: Crystal Palace on the way to FA Cup triumph!

With the end of the season in sight, teams in the Premier League are preparing for an intense summer with lots of transfer activity expected. The focus is particularly on Oliver Glasner, the sought-after coach of Crystal Palace. [oe24] reports that Glasner is already working on his next winning team and will face Aston Villa in an exciting FA Cup semi-final. This will take place next Saturday at 6.15 p.m. at Wembley Stadium. The aim is to reach the third final in the FA Cup after 1990 and 2016.

In recent weeks, Crystal Palace have drastically improved their form under Glasner and most recently shone with a convincing 3-0 win against Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-finals. The goals were scored by Eberechi Eze, Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah, consolidating their successful run of five consecutive wins in all competitions. [mirror] mentions that this phenomenon is also a remarkable achievement: Palace have won their last six away games without conceding a goal, which is a first in the history of the English top flight.

Transfer strategies and challenges

Despite the success in the cup, Glasner remains realistic. He stressed that the FA Cup was not the only priority and highlighted the importance of the upcoming Premier League games. Crystal Palace have already collected 39 points in the league and are aiming to match their record of 49 points from last season. While European business seems out of reach for next season, the team has secured relegation. [oe24] reports that Leicester and Southampton are already relegated, while Ipswich could potentially follow suit.

When planning for next season, Glasner has already announced the signing of Kyle Walker-Peters from Southampton. [oe24] explains that the 28-year-old, who began his career in Tottenham's youth ranks and moved to Southampton in 2020, will be looking for a new club at the end of the season. Glasner has given the green light to this transfer and is convinced that Walker-Peters can help strengthen the team.

Future challenges

While the coaching landscape in the Premier League, particularly in Madrid, may be changing, Glasner has also attracted interest from top clubs such as RB Leipzig and Tottenham. This development could create additional challenges for Crystal Palace as they focus on their remaining games. [mirror] reports that despite the FA Cup challenge looming, the focus remains on the league games, which are crucial to the overall season.

The exciting time for Crystal Palace and the leadership under Oliver Glasner will not only be characterized by the upcoming FA Cup, but also by strategic planning for the future. The upcoming matches, especially the game against Arsenal, are part of a crucial phase in which the course is to be set for the coming season.
