Cherif has four goals to his name so far this season, and he has impressed with his performances in Ligue 1. There is no doubt that he could prove to be an excellent addition for Crystal Palace. They need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and Cherif would be a long-term acquisition.

Cherif could be a superb addition

He is a talented player with a bright future, and he could develop into an important first-team player for Crystal Palace. The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be tempting for him. He will certainly hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement quickly. This is a golden opportunity for him to test himself at a higher level, and he will look to establish himself as a reliable attacker in the Premier League.

They move to Crystal Palace could be a stepping stone for him right now. If he manages to impress at the South London club, he could secure a bigger move in future.

Crystal Palace have offered €20 million for the attacker. It is a substantial offer for a young player like him, and it remains to be seen whether the French outfit will accept it.

Meanwhile, the player has a lot of potential, and he could easily justify the investment in future.
