Zavier Gozo?

The Athletic is reporting that we are looking at Zavier Gozo from Salt Lake. Link: Crystal Palace in advanced talks to complete £11m deal for Real Salt Lake wing-back Zavier Gozo

I like it if it happens. Zavier Gozo is exactly the type of player that Sage is looking for, insane cardio and speed, loves to play both offense and defense, this is a solid pickup if this happens as he's on the cusp of being a really talented player. He's also super humble and grounded, which is an issue for most younger players.

These are the kind of players that we sign, develop and expose to the PL and then sell to the bigger kids in a couple of years

Do we need another RWB?
It reminds me of a few years ago when we seemed obsessed with adding centre backs.

Perhaps another painful sale would open this option. Let’s hope we have a stronger not weaker team come September

Salt Lake has used him primarily as midfielder, but I can appreciate the concern that we are stacking in singular areas while neglecting others.

I think they are looking at trying to back fill some players about to walk, such as Saar possibly to Fenerbahce, Esse to Club Brugge, and bringing in a player who could play a couple of different positions wouldn't hurt club depth, especially with the Europa League games.

Doesn't seem like a right wing back. That's a winger, right mid

Looks like a straight swap
Gozo in , Esse out

His highlights reel looks good , but so did Esse’s and Sosa’s .

If this goes ahead , will be interesting to see how quickly he develops .

Please can we buy a left sided attacking player.

No, Gozo is Right footed, Esse was Left footed.

Please, pretty please, we have more on the right than Tommy Robinson.

His show reel was not filling me with enthusiasm, but as a replacement for Esse, he couldn't be any worse.

Really? Watching that highlight reel has got me pretty excited. Could be a real gem. Hope we get this over the line tomorrow.

You must get easily excited.

Think about something horrible. That usually helps. 😉

i just watched a clip of him playing in the us league and i thought he looked really poor little control of the ball and very lightweight 🙁

He's roughly the same size as Kamada in height/weight. I think he has some growing to do yet both on and off the pitch.

I don't think he is a starter at the beginning but can be a depth player with a lot of upside who could be a contributor over the long seasons.

The MLS is an woefully bad standard of football. I wouldn't get too excited.

Yaxley Lennon please. As a certain poster reminds us regularly 😁
