According to Clubcall.com, Crystal Palace is one of the Premier League sides interested in Horley Town’s striker Ashley Nadesan.
The 22-year-old has been enjoying an impressive year in the lower leagues. Nadesan has scored 50 goals this season for Horley Town, who participate in the Combined Counties League Premier Division.
Crystal Palace isn’t the only side keen on signing Nadesan, Premier League sides Norwich and Bournemouth have been scouting the striker for quite some time now. In addition, lower league sides such as Brighton, Colchester, and Crawley Town are keeping an eye on the forward.
The report by Clubcall.com claims League One side Millwall has offered the 22-year-old a trial with the side and hope to retain his services.
According to the Daily Mail, the 22-year-old Horley Town striker currently works as a crew trainer for a McDonalds in Redhill, Surrey. In addition, the report suggests that League Two side AFC Wimbledon had invited Nadesan to train with the club last week.
With a surplus of non-league strikers exploding in the Premier League, such as Jamie Vardy and Charlie Austin, English clubs will search for their very own underdog story.
Crystal Palace still has issues at the striker position, so adding another striker into the mix can’t hurt. In addition, the fee for Nadesan wouldn’t be outrageous, meaning if the striker does fail with the club, it won’t hurt the club financially.
