Crystal Palace Set To Sign Jaydee Canvot From Toulouse

Crystal Palace have reached an agreement to sign Jaydee Canvot, the talented French centre back from Toulouse. As per reports, the paperwork is now being finalised between both clubs following Palace’s interest after Aston Villa’s bid was turned down.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Crystal Palace showed more interest in Jaydee Canvot after Aston Villa’s bid was turned down. Villa’s offer was rejected by Toulouse who wanted €20 million for the transfer. Palace have now agreed to terms and are exchanging documents with Toulouse to secure the 19-year-old defender before the transfer window closes. Canvot has been an important player for Toulouse, playing every minute of their opening matches this season, and quickly becoming known for his strong defending and composed play.

WHY CRYSTAL PALACE ARE MAKING THIS MOVE

Palace manager Oliver Glasner wanted to strengthen his squad’s defensive options, especially after injuries and the need for more depth. Jaydee Canvot impressed last season with 18 Ligue 1 appearances and 12 starts, showing maturity and skill. He also excelled during the Maurice Revello Tournament, further showcasing his potential according to recent reports. Palace, with two draws from two matches in the Premier League, hope Canvot’s arrival will help stabilise their backline and improve their league position.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

Once the transfer documents are exchanged, Canvot is expected to join Palace’s training immediately. Palace face Aston Villa next in the Premier League, with both teams looking for their first win. The team hopes Canvot can adapt quickly and be available for selection. His addition will bring competition and fresh energy to the defence. Toulouse, meanwhile, will need to adjust after losing one of their best young talents but they remain 2nd in Ligue 1 after two wins to start their season. The move shows Palace’s intent to invest in youth and prepare for a tough schedule ahead.
