Christian Kouame’s serious knee injury isn’t just bad for Genoa, but also for Crystal Palace, as he was reportedly due to join for €25m plus bonuses in January.
The forward was on international duty with the Ivory Coast in the Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations when suffering an anterior cruciate ligament tear.
He turns 22 next month and was having a strong season with Genoa, scoring five goals with three assists in 11 Serie A appearances.

According to Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, this is also very bad news for Crystal Palace, because it’s claimed Kouame and Genoa already had a deal to make the transfer in January.
It was going to be a move worth €25m plus performance-related bonuses.
