Crystal Palace is in advanced negotiations to sign midfielder Kevin Danois from AJ Auxerre for £25 million plus potential add-ons. The 22-year-old French player, under contract with Auxerre until June 2029, has made over 50 senior appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist. Newcastle United and Besiktas are also pursuing the player, creating competitive tension that could drive up the price. Palace’s offer significantly exceeds current market estimates (12.5 to 15.2 million euros) and the rejected Bournemouth bid from last year (11 million euros). These talks align with Crystal Palace’s January 2026 transfer strategy.
