Crystal Palace are reportedly targeting Torino defender Perr Schuurs as a potential replacement for one of Marc Guehi or Joachim Andersen.

Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in Torino centre-back Perr Schuurs.

Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen featured in the centre of the Palace defence for the majority of the 2022-23 campaign, helping the club achieve a respectable 11th-placed finish.

However, their resolute performances have drawn interest from a number of Premier League clubs, raising the possibility that at least one of them could depart this summer.

Guehi, who joined Palace from Chelsea in 2021, is said to be a target for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United.

With three years left to run on his contract, Palace have indicated that they would be willing to part ways for a £60m fee.

Like Guehi, Andersen also joined the Eagles two years ago, arriving from Lyon for an initial €22m (£18.9m) fee plus €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons.

Andersen has emerged as a transfer target for Newcastle United, who can tempt the Denmark international with the chance to play Champions League football.

With uncertainty surrounding the futures of Guehi and Andersen, Palace have begun searching for potential replacements.

According to The Athletic, the Eagles are exploring a deal for Schuurs after being impressed with his performances in his first season as a Torino player.

The central defender is under contract until the summer of 2026, which includes an option to extend by a further 12 months.

With Schuurs expected to command a significant fee, a deal may only be viable if Palace sell one of Guehi or Andersen.

The Dutchman featured in 95 games and won six trophies with Ajax before completing a move to Serie A last summer.

Since arriving in Turin, he has made 33 appearances across all competitions, chipping in with one goal and two assists.
