Crystal Palace head scout confirms interest in Brazilian pair – Eagles have ‘need’ in position

Crystal Palace head scout in the Americas Alessandro Brito confirmed that the Premier League club is monitoring Brazilian midfielders André Luiz and Danilo Santos. Speaking to ESPN Brazil, Brito stated that while negotiations have not taken place, both players remain on a monitoring list to address a position the Eagles need to strengthen.

André plays for Corinthians and has previously been watched by Palace scouts, while Danilo represents Botafogo following an earlier spell with Nottingham Forest. Brito noted that Danilo's quick decision-making rather than physical speed makes him suitable for English football, though both potential permanent transfers remain strictly in the monitoring phase.
