Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has expressed his delight with the performance of midfielder Jefferson Lerma. Lerma joined the club in August and has exhibited a dynamic playing style that has impressed Hodgson. The 26-year-old Colombian international has seamlessly adapted to the Premier League and has played a crucial role in the team’s recent success. Hodgson praised Lerma’s aggression and energy on the pitch, highlighting his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively. The manager also commended Lerma’s work ethic and dedication, stating that he is a valuable asset to the squad..
Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits he’s delighted with the early impact of Jefferson Lerma.
The midfielder arrived in the summer from Bournemouth.
Hodgson said, “He’s a very dynamic player. Whenever he plays, he changes the energy levels, like Cheick Doucouré did when he came.
“It’s enabled us to play with two players in the Doucouré position and that has helped us in many ways. It frees up one or two more of the attacking players, and in particular, it gives us extra cover which you sometimes need in the defensive area when you lose the ball. We’re very happy with him. I think it was an excellent club signing.
“Olise almost feels like a new signing now. Him and Jefferson Lerma, that’s two very interesting signings, plus a young Brazilian who everyone speaks very highly of and who Doug [Freedman] speaks very highly of and is convinced has the potential to help us become a better team too, all of those things have given me heart today that we can look forward to another decent season at Crystal Palace.”
