Crystal Palace secures Allyson Swaby from AC Milan

Crystal Palace is actively seeking to strengthen their defense as they navigate a challenging Premier League season, currently sitting in 13th place. The club is pursuing a loan deal for Juventus defender Tiago Djalo, who must first terminate his current loan with Porto. Djalo has made 12 appearances this season and could help address the defensive void left by the recalled Trevoh Chalobah and the long-term injury of Chadi Riad. Meanwhile, Palace has made a significant addition by signing Jamaican international defender Allyson Swaby from AC Milan on a contract until June 2027, marking her as a key player to enhance their squad. Swaby brings valuable experience from her time in both international and club football, having featured at two World Cups. With these moves, Palace aims to bolster their squad's depth and improve their performance in the second half of the season.
