FULHAM v C PALACE

-

Meanwhile, Palace boss Glasner remains cautiously optimistic that stars Olise and Eze will stay put at Selhurst Park, despite not having indepth discussion­s about their futures just yet.

The Eagles are on the brink of a four-match winning streak for the first time since 2020, although there’s uncertaint­y over Eze, who picked up a knee injury during their recent victory against Newcastle.

With both forwards potentiall­y on the radar of other clubs, it’s been rumoured that Palace wouldn’t consider bids under £60m for either player.

Glasner said: “We will see, but I think yes, of course. [They have] a contract here, first of all, and the second is they feel well, otherwise they wouldn’t perform like they did, but it’s not the right moment now.

“I’ve been in football for a very long time, and I think no team in the world can say on April 26 how the squad will be the next season. We don’t know, but we think that they will play for Palace next season.”

IS PEP the only person working in English football that doesn’t know that any team in the world could be and should be built around Phil Foden?

This kid is sensationa­l, he is joyous, that big smile wins me over every time too.

In an era when so many millionair­e modern players don’t even like football, Foden is the type of kid with a ball out in the street who you can just imagine being called home by his mom when it gets dark.

He is so gifted and yet he has also got a huge work ethic and always contribute­s when his side are not (below)

in possession — and surely he can only get better.

Gareth Southgate was at the Brighton game on Thursday night and what a lucky manager he is.

With Euro 2024 on the doorstep and when a lot of players are looking for the beach — just look at how Brighton played on Thursday — Foden doesn’t just want to win trophies for his club he wants to win trophies for his country.

That exquisite little reverse-angle pass to set up Kyle Walker ahead of Kevin De Bruyne’s astonishin­gly accurate header was a moment in the title race.
