Crystal Palace are tracking one of Chelsea’s players ahead of the summer transfer window.
Chelsea could be a good place to shop when the market reopens, as quite a few of their assets could be available.
The Blues may very well have to sell players this summer because of profit and sustainability rules.
They have footballers not playing at the moment and out on loan, so there could be some interesting opportunities for a Premier League club like Palace.
Romelu Lukaku and Armando Broja, for example, are not currently with Mauricio Pochettino‘s squad.

Crystal Palace tracking Chelsea man
According to journalist Rudy Galetti, Lukaku is likely to move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
However, there is another striker at Chelsea who Palace could end up signing.

Writing for Si Phillips Talks Chelsea, another journalist, Ben Jacobs, claimed that the Eagles are tracking Broja, who is currently on loan at Fulham.
They want to pay less than £20m for his signature, though, which may not be enough.
It has been claimed that Chelsea were looking to get up to £50m for Broja after sending him to Fulham, hoping a successful loan spell there would justify the valuation that they have given him.
Will Chelsea sell Armando Broja for less than £20m this summer?
It is hard to imagine them doing so, especially if they were looking to sell him for £50m at one point.
£20m has to be the bare minimum, but perhaps Palace will feel that they can actually get the 22-year-old for lower than that or on loan.
The Eagles will point to the fact that Broja has barely played for Fulham. He is yet to even make a start for Chelsea’s west London rivals.
Ultimately, the Blues are not going to have a lot of negotiating power. There is no way that they will be able to sell Broja for £50m. At the same time, though, below £20m sounds a little cheap.
