Fulham and Crystal Palace chasing Hugo Larsson

Fulham and Crystal Palace are both in the race to sign Hugo Larsson, with the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder looking increasingly likely to move to England before the transfer window closes.

According to a report dated August 31, both Premier League clubs have made bids for the Sweden international, as Frankfurt prepare for the possibility of losing one of their standout performers. The German club are understood to value Larsson in the region of €25 million to €30 million, setting the framework for talks as the deadline approaches.

Larsson, 22, has earned 12 caps for Sweden and has developed into one of Frankfurt’s best players in recent seasons. A former Malmo midfielder, he has attracted interest after establishing himself as an important figure in Germany, and a move to the Premier League could now materialise quickly.

Fulham and Crystal Palace are both seeking midfield reinforcement, and their interest has now advanced to formal bids. The situation is expected to move quickly, with the transfer window scheduled to close at 23:00 tomorrow. That leaves limited time for Frankfurt, the player and the interested English clubs to agree terms.

At this stage, it remains unclear which club is best placed to secure Larsson’s signature, but the expectation from the latest report is that he will make a move before the deadline. Palace and Fulham will both hope their proposals are strong enough to convince Frankfurt, while the player’s preference could also prove decisive in the final hours.

With a valuation already set and bids on the table, Larsson’s future is shaping up to be one of the notable late Premier League transfer stories before the window shuts.
