Jason Lokilo attracting interest from Ligue 2 sides

Crystal Palace forward Jason Lokilo is attracting interest from several Ligue 2 clubs, according to a report from L’Equipe.

Auxerre, Brest, AS Nancy and FC Lorient are all rumoured to be interested in taking the winger on loan. However, it isn’t clear from the report whether Palace want the youngster to leave on loan or continue his development and gain experience with the club’s under-23s.

The 19-year-old is currently under contract until 2020, and after making his first and only first-team appearance last season against Ipswich Town in the EFL Cup, it is thought that that the club are willing to give him a chance in pre-season before deciding where he is to play next season.

Originally coming from the Anderlecht academy, Lokilo moved to Palace in July 2015 and has since come through the ranks at the academy. Last season he played a major part of the under-23’s title success, making 23 appearances, scoring 10 and assisting 12.
