Crystal Palace Secures Romain Esse Transfer

Crystal Palace have reached an agreement with Millwall to sign 19-year-old winger Romain Esse for a transfer fee set at £12 million, potentially rising to £14.5 million with add-ons, and including a sell-on clause for Millwall. Palace reportedly prioritized Esse's signing in the winter transfer window, successfully beating other interested Premier League clubs such as Bournemouth and Newcastle. Millwall boss Alex Neil confirmed that Esse was left out of a recent match to avoid jeopardizing the transfer, which is nearing completion. Esse, an England Under-20 international, is set to undergo a medical at Crystal Palace. The Eagles, who are currently on a strong run in the Premier League, plan to focus on acquiring a left wing-back after finalizing Esse's transfer.
