Report: Palace in talks to sign Carrasco on loan

Yannick Carrasco

Crystal Palace want to take winger Yannick Carrasco on loan from Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang.

Carrasco, 26, is looking to quit China for a move back to Europe and Palace have made enquiries, according to Sky Sports.

The Belgian has has netted 24 goals in 52 appearances after signing from Atletico Madrid for around £20m in 2018.

Palace are desperate for fresh recruits with wide players Andros Townsend and Jeffrey Schlupp among those on the casualty list.

Dalian Yifang would want a £3m loan fee to borrow Carrasco for the rest of the season but his wages of £180,000 a week could be a sticking point.

Carrasco was a reported target of Arsenal last summer, but they decided to go for Nicholas Pepe instead.
