PSV star Bakayoko set for a move to the palace.

According to The Daily Mail, Palace viewed the Belgian international as a potential successor to Ebere Eze.

Palace were expecting to lose Eze over the summer with his £60m buyout clause being made public.

So much so, that they had identified Bakayoko as Eze's replacement.

But with the market closing and Eze still a Palace player, a move for the PSV attacker was eventually never made.
