Palace should sign Tavernier to replace Wan-Bissaka after Tottenham rejection

Crystal Palace are on the hunt for a replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and were recently met with rejection from Tottenham for their pursuit of Kyle Walker-Peters. If the Eagles can’t sign the 21-year-old, they should turn their attentions to James Tavernier.

The 27-year-old was outstanding for Rangers in 2018/19 and is valued at £8m. Tavernier scored and created 37 goals from 57 games in all competitions last season. The marauding fullback could be signed for 14% of Wan-Bissaka’s £50m move to Manchester United.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is desperate to keep Tavernier, but the growing interest in his signature could turn the defender’s head.
