Palace sniffing around Esse.

Really depends what happens for the rest of this season, if he carrys on as he is and ends up on 7-9 goals with a fair few assists as well and if the club wants play hard ball (Which I believe JB will do) I can see the club sticking a 25 million price tag on him!
 
Now he is getting a run of games he will improve quickly as he has been.

By the end of the season he will be some player can already see managers regard him as a threat by looking at how many times he is fouled during games, the last two games he was fouled more or less every time he had the ball and like Saturday he will get no protection from referees due to who he plays for.
 
Two years until June 2026.
I don’t think this is correct. The original contract on sites said 2023-2026 which was signed in January 2023, this was also a long-term deal. I cannot see the club extending his contract 1 year later and it only being two years, doesn’t make any sense.
 
If his deal is only till June 26' then we need to sell thim this winter or next summer for decent cash. If that's the plan then with Esse, then we need to get Casper to sign a new deal because he will probably be on his last year next year too.
