Crystal Palace trickster Malcolm Ebiowei – an England youth international – is only 19 years old but has spent time at Chelsea, Arsenal, Rangers and Derby County before making the senior switch to Crystal Palace in June.

He had been of interest from Manchester United but decided to head to Palace with promise of more senior opportunities.

The six-foot-one forward, who can also play on the wing, has already made three appearances in the Premier League for the Eagles but with the likes of WIlfried Zaha and Ebe Eze ahead of him it’s suggested he may be allowed out on loan to continue his development having gained first team exposure with Derby last season.

Ebiowei is likely to gain widespread interest and the scale of Wednesday’s mooted interest – reported by The Sun’s Alan Nixon – is not yet clear. A return to Derby is also reported, as has interest from his former Rams boss Liam Rosenior, now at Hull City.
