Let’s do it

Sage builds his attack

The signing tells you where Palace think they are heading. Pierre Sage, the former Lyon manager, now runs the dugout in south London, and he wants forwards who can bite straight away. Khalaili suits that brief. He arrives from a Union side that has turned into a regular on the European stage over the past few seasons, so the continental nights are nothing new to him. The Premier League, though, is a different weight of test.

Down to the medical

Now it hinges on the tests. Pass them, and the announcement should follow quickly. Palace would land the attacker they wanted, Sage would slot another name into his blueprint, and the winger would get his shot at English football. One box left to tick.
