Crystal Palace to replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka with Paulo Diaz?

Palace want Diaz to replace Wan-Bissaka?

Crystal Palace are reportedly considering a £5m move for Chile international Paulo Diaz.

The Eagles are in the hunt for a new right-back after losing Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United for £45m this summer, which made him the most expensive uncapped English player in history.

According to the Daily Star, Palace may turn their attentions to Diaz after missing out on Norwich City's Max Aarons and Atalanta BC's Timothy Castagne.

The report adds that Roy Hodgson is also interested in Arsenal outcast Carl Jenkinson but would not consider him as part of a swap deal for Wilfried Zaha.

It is also claimed that Diaz, who currently plays for Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, would jump at the chance to play in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old has two years left on his contract but remains a cheap option for Hodgson as Palace look to build on their 12th-place finish last season.
