In addition to Miles Robinson, PSV has another American defender on its list: Crystal Palace player Chris Richards. His arrival is “perhaps considered more logical by insiders,” it reports Eindhovens Dagblad.

Richards’ advantage over Robinson is that the former already has experience in European football. He transferred from Bayern Munich to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2022 for approximately twelve million. In Munich the counter stopped at three appearances in the main team. After the arrival of Matthijs de Ligt he had to make way.
Because Richards is not a permanent fixture at Crystal Palace, it is not excluded that PSV can pick him up for a relatively low amount. It is not known what the people of Eindhoven are willing to pay for a new center defender. Armel Bella-Kotchap is on loan from Southampton this season, but is out of action for a longer period of time with shoulder problems.

It is clear that technical director Earnest Stewart would like to go on the American tour again. He previously brought Sergiño Dest, Richardo Pepi and Malik Tillman, all internationals from Team USA, to the Philips Stadium. On Sunday he said on Goedemorgen Eredivisie that he hopes to keep the PSV selection together in the coming months.
Stewart also confirmed that PSV is interested in Robinson, who is out of contract with Atlanta United at the end of 2023. “I am in contact, but not only with him. Also with other players, that is my job,” said the technical director. Robinson is a 27-time international, Richards played twelve times for his country.
