Crystal Palace is advancing in negotiations for 19-year-old defender Raphael Le Guen, having agreed on personal terms. Le Guen, currently with Brest, has made only six senior appearances but is viewed as a potential successor to Maxence Lacroix, who may be transferring to Chelsea. Palace is expected to formalize a bid for Le Guen shortly. Fulham is also interested, but Palace appears to have a lead in the negotiations. The club is looking to address gaps in its defense, especially after losing Marc Guehi last January.
