However, he has recently revealed his plans for the future and they may well be away from Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/04\/28\/100-years-of-wembley\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">100 Years of Wembley Stadium: Its Top 10 Greatest Games<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Andersen spoke to Danish news outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/ekstrabladet.dk\/sport\/fodbold\/landsholdsfodbold\/joker-med-hoejlund-pisseirriterende\/9938716\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ekstra Bladet<\/a> ahead of Denmark&#8217;s EURO qualifiers against San Marino and Finland.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, he spoke about his ambitions, saying: &#8220;I want to play in the biggest and best clubs in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>No Concrete Offers For Andersen This Summer<\/h3>\n<p>The defender was linked with a move away from Crystal Palace for most of the summer. He was heavily linked with Newcastle United, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12225859\/Newcastle-hopeful-Crystal-Palaces-Joachim-Andersen.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reports<\/a> suggesting The Magpies were hopeful of securing his signature. Then, Tottenham <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12303675\/Tottenham-join-Newcastle-race-sign-Crystal-Palace-star-Joachim-Andersen.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reportedly<\/a> joined the race for the Danish player as his transfer fee was apparently set at \u00a350 million.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these reports, the man has himself confirmed there were no concrete offers for his services during this transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>On the subject of transfer offers, he said: &#8220;There were a few things back and forth, but nothing concrete.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/04\/30\/100-years-of-wembley-stadium-upsets\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">100 Years of Wembley Stadium: Five of Its Greatest Upsets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While there may not have been anything concrete over the summer that could soon change.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-foot 3-inch colossus has put in some fantastic performances this season that have seen him named man of the match in two of four Premier League outings. He also currently holds a 7.74 rating on WhoScored, which is the highest for any defender in the top flight of English football at present.<\/p>\n<p>That sort of form, if it continues, is definitely going to turn more than a few heads and a concrete offer could well be made when the transfer window reopens in January.<\/p>\n<h3>Andersen Reveals Race Against Time To Achieve His Goals<\/h3>\n<p>The 23 cap Danish international appeared to be worried about age preventing him from achieving his goals of playing for the biggest and best clubs in the world.<\/p>\n<p>It sounded like he believes he needs to move sooner rather than later, with him noting: &#8220;I&#8217;m 27, and if I&#8217;m going to make a transfer, it should preferably be within the next few years. I&#8217;m not getting any younger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_628486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-628486\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-628486 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/Crystal-Palace-Selhurst-Park-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Selhurst Park\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/Crystal-Palace-Selhurst-Park-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/Crystal-Palace-Selhurst-Park-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/Crystal-Palace-Selhurst-Park-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/Crystal-Palace-Selhurst-Park.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-628486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Ajau Suresh https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/83136374@N05 CC by 2.0: https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Special:EntityPage\/Q19125117<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen has hinted he could be set to leave the club in the near future to move on to bigger and better things.
