🉐With this unnamed European club bidding twice already, Dougie Freedman needs to get his chequebook out and make an offer soon.

Would Eddie Nketiah do well for Crystal Palace?

🎃In our view, Nketiah is exactly what Vieira needs.

🐽The Eagles only have tall strikers who lack pace in Christian Benteke and Jean-Philippe Mateta, while Vieira seems to consider Jordan Ayew as a winger.

𝓀In Nketiah, the Eagles would be getting a pacy, young forward with exceptional movement in and around the penalty box.

👍The 22-year-old broke Alan Shearer’s record after notching his goal for England’s Under-21 side in just appearances.

ꦐJust by watching some of those strikes, it’s clear Nketiah is a confident finisher who is capable of a range of different techniques.

🔯A strike partnership of Nketiah latching on to Benteke’s knockdowns could well prove to be extremely fruitful for the south Londoners.
