Crystal Palace enquire about Morocco international Louza

Crystal Palace are among several clubs monitoring Watford midfielder Imrân Louza ahead of a potential move during the summer transfer window.

According to Foot Mercato, the Premier League side have made enquiries over the availability of the Morocco international, who is attracting interest from clubs across England, France and the Netherlands.

Newly promoted Paris FC are also keen on bringing the 27-year-old back to Ligue 1 and have already contacted Watford over a possible transfer. However, the French club are expected to offload players before making a formal move.

Nice are also reported to be monitoring the situation, while Dutch giants Ajax have emerged as another potential destination for the former Nantes midfielder.

Watford are understood to value Louza at around €10 million, with interested clubs expected to meet that asking price if they are to secure his signature before the transfer window closes.

Louza joined Watford from Nantes in 2021 and has remained a key figure in midfield despite the club’s recent campaigns in the Championship. The Morocco international is now attracting renewed interest as several clubs look to strengthen their squads ahead of the 2026/27 season.
