Crystal Palace's Hopes of Signing Ligue 1 Goalkeeper Given a Massive Boost Following Positive Talks

Crystal Palace could be close to completing the signing of Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont after the 19-year-old sat down for talks with the Premier League club recently.

According to French outlet L'Equipe (via Sport Witness), the young goalkeeper spoke to Crystal Palace weeks ago and is keen on a move to the club.

Toulouse are reportedly in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer and Lafont's playing time at the club could be at risk, despite the teenager playing in every one of his side's league matches last season.

The French side have earmarked Dijon stopper Baptiste Reynet as their new number one as they look to add experience to their squad.
