Journalist Alan Nixon claims Port Vale have won the race to bring in a Premier League player on loan.
Note: this is a rumour. There’s been no official confirmation by either club at time of publication. It should be treated with a pinch of salt.
The Valiants are snapping up Crystal Palace youngster Kofi Balmer on a loan deal after presenting the most convincing case to the Eagles, according to journalist Alan Nixon.
Balmer has played for Northern Ireland U21s and will be well known to Vale manager Andy Crosby, who managed the U21s.
The former Ballymena and Larne player, 22, stands six foot tall and can play on both sides either as a centre-back, full-back or wingback.
Palace signed Balmer from Northern Irish side Larne in the summer of 2022 when he joined their Under-21 squad.
