PSV Eindhoven are closely monitoring the performance of Crystal Palace’s defender, Chris Richards, as rumors circulate about a potential loan deal for the American international, according to reports from Eindhovens Dagblad.

Having made a noteworthy move from Bayern Munich to Crystal Palace just last year for a substantial transfer fee of 12 million euros, Richards is currently navigating his second season with the Premier League club. Despite the considerable investment, the talented defender has encountered challenges in securing a consistent spot in the starting eleven.

Throughout his tenure at Crystal Palace, Richards has made appearances in a total of 14 games since joining the squad. Despite his limited time on the pitch, the 21-year-old has demonstrated his defensive prowess and contributed significantly to the overall performance of the team.

Transfermakt.com currently places a market value of 10 million euros on Richards, underscoring his potential and standing in the transfer market. The young American has also represented his country on the international stage, participating in 14 matches and finding the back of the net on one occasion. However, despite his accomplishments, Richards has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter for Crystal Palace.
