Crystal Palace eye ex-Tottenham star, 24, to replace Michael Olise as Eagles secure huge transfer sell-on clause
CANNY Crystal Palace will keep a keen eye on Michael Olise’s Bayern Munich form — because they are due a 15 per cent sell-on if he moves.
The Frenchman, 22, has chosen the Bundesliga giants with a £50million fee expected. But any further big deals will see the Eagles cash in again.
Palace fancy free agent Ryan Sessegnon, too.
The former England youth international, 24, was released by Tottenham last month after playing just seven minutes last season.
He missed the first chunk of the campaign with a hamstring injury, before briefly returning in January.
Sessegnon came on during the latter stages of his side’s 1-0 FA Cup win over Burnley.
He then featured in an Under-21s match in a bid to build fitness, only to suffer another hamstring injury, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
Upon his release, Sessegnon issued a heartfelt message to fans on social media.
He wrote: “Thank you, Spurs.
“I would like to thank everyone associated with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

“I joined at 19, and have met some very special people along the way that have supported and guided me.
“From my team-mates, to the back-room staff, to my coaches – thank you!
“I’ve got memories and friends for life.
“From making my debut to scoring in the Champions League. I’ll always cherish these moments.
“Unfortunately things didn’t work out the way I or the club wanted during my time here.
“It broke my heart that I couldn’t play more in front of you, a lot more.
“I want to wish you all the best for the future.
“Thank you. Sess.”
Sessegnon joined Spurs from Fulham in the summer of 2019.
He went on to play just 57 times for the Lilywhites in five years, scoring three goals.
