Crystal Palace interested in Luuk De Jong

Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing PSV striker Luuk De Jong.

According to the Daily Mail today, the Eagles are the latest club to join the race for the experienced forward, who is out of favour at his club.

The 26-year-old was excluded from the PSV squad that travelled to Germany to take on Bundesliga outfit Augsburg on Sunday, further fuelling speculation that he might depart the club this summer.

De Jong has not lived up to his potential, and has failed to really establish himself for PSV. He scored just eight times last season and is looking all but set for an exit this month.

German side Hannover 96 are claimed to be keen on landing the out of favour forward this summer, but Frank de Boer appears to be keen on linking up with his compatriot.

Palace currently lack depth up top, and adding De Jong would undoubtedly take all the pressure off Christian Benteke.
