Crystal Palace transfer news: Eagles tipped to sign 22 y/o once compared to Salah for £1.5m

Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge thinks Crystal Palace target Eddie Nketiah's compensation fee in the summer could be as little as £1.5m.

The 22-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, and Bridge is tipping Palace to land him.

Palace had two bids for Nketiah rejected last month, according to Sky Sports. It comes after the south London club's failed attempt to sign him last summer, with The Athletic previously reporting that he was the striker that they looked at before bringing in Odsonne Edouard from Celtic. 

It is quite clear that Patrick Vieira wants Nketiah at Selhurst Park, so it would not be a surprise to see Palace make another move for him in the next transfer window.

And they face a much easier task, as the English youngster's contract is set to expire. As per the Daily Mirror, the Eagles would only have to pay a small compensation fee for his services.

They are likely to face competition for him, though, with Bundesliga duo Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach also thought to be interested in his signature.
