Jørgen Strand Larsen
January 2026
Palace confirmed the signing of Strand Larsen from Wolves in a club-record deal worth about £50m, with a four-and-a-half-year contract and the No. 22 shirt. Palace moved late to complete the transfer; Parish framed the striker as a long-term asset, while Strand Larsen said he is joining to bring energy and goals after a tougher second season at a struggling Wolves.
Oliver Glasner
January 2026
Palace leadership moved to calm sack talk and keep Glasner through the end of his contract, despite his public criticism of the club after losing key players and enduring a long winless run. Glasner described the squad as abandoned after Guehi’s sale and transfer noise around Mateta, and the chairman held talks before deciding continuity was preferred; Palace still involved Glasner in January business and expect a turnaround.
Adam Wharton
December 2025
Adam Wharton’s agent has admitted the Crystal Palace midfielder ultimately wants Champions League football, acknowledging that a move away from Selhurst Park is likely one day amid growing interest from Manchester United and other elite clubs ahead of the 2026 transfer window. Co-owner Steve Parish stressed Palace will only sell for a huge fee, pointing to Wharton’s long contract, focus on regular minutes and England ambitions, while accepting it is unsurprising major sides admire an “extraordinary talent” who could reach Europe either with Palace or elsewhere.
