Crystal Palace have been urged to strengthen their defence in the January transfer window, with a new centre-back potentially crucial to Pierre Sage’s future at Selhurst Park.
According to a Football Insider report, former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness believes the French manager needs additional defensive reinforcements to address the club’s disappointing start to the season.
Sage has come under considerable pressure following a series of poor results, with Palace’s defensive struggles raising serious questions about his long-term future. Their heavy 5-0 defeat to Brighton further intensified scrutiny of the manager.
