Crystal Palace summer signing Daichi Kamada says it was easy for him to choose the club when he was approached.
Recall that the Japan international has left Lazio for Palace after just a year in Rome.
However, in. a chat with Palace’s YouTube channel, Kamada stated that it has always been his dream to play in the Premier League.
“I chose Palace because I had already been contacted in the winter, given that when Maurizio Sarri was at Lazio I never played. Many teams looked for me, I spoke to the president about leaving, but he said no that he wouldn’t let me leave.

“I knew the history of Crystal Palace, they spoke to my manager. While I was thinking about what to do, Oliver Glasner sent me a message and said he wanted me as a signing for the summer. We started talking, but many clubs were looking for me and I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t play much at the beginning, then things changed. In the end I was undecided whether to stay at Lazio or go to Crystal Palace. But since I was little I told myself that my dream was to one day play in the Premier League.
“I talked a lot with Oliver Glasner and I think he is a great manager and he wanted me at all costs even when I was thinking of staying at Lazio in the end he prevailed. I’ve been following Palace since Glasner has been there, I’ve seen all the games. We have a physical team, with an important coach who gives importance to the defensive and offensive parts. We have talented players and we can do well.*
