Oliver Glasner has made the decision to include six young Crystal Palace players in his squad for the pre-season tour of the United States. The team will be traveling to Annapolis, Maryland to face Wolves, followed by a match against West Ham in Tampa, Florida.
According to the South London Press, Glasner has been impressed with several promising prospects at Crystal Palace. One of them is Franco Umeh, who has been generating a lot of buzz among fans. The Republic of Ireland U19 international is expected to compete with Tyrick Mitchell for the left-wing back position this season. In fact, it is reported that Glasner opted against signing Ryan Sessegnon on a free transfer because he believes Umeh has what it takes to challenge the English player at Selhurst Park.
Joining Umeh on the tour will be Caleb Kporha, Asher Agbinone, Justin Devenny, Roshaun Mathurin, and Mofe Jemide. These talented youngsters will have the opportunity to train and play alongside the senior players during the tour.
In other news, Crystal Palace is reportedly considering a bid for a highly-regarded wonderkid following the signing of Ismaila Sarr.
