Max Meyer claims Crystal Palace squad might be stronger than Schalke

Crystal Palace midfielder Max Meyer believes that the Eagles might just have a better squad as compared to his former club Schalke.

Last season Meyer made 24 Bundesliga appearances for Schalke who finished second in the German top-flight standings behind Bayern Munich.

After indicating that he would be leaving Schalke upon the expiry of his contract, Meyer eventually signed for Palace.

The Germany international is very highly-rated and the 22-year-old’s signing is viewed as a major coup for Palace.

While the English Premier League is undoubtedly more competitive than the Bundesliga, it is debatable as to whether Palace are better than Schalke.
