Palace chasing Dundee United goalkeeper Siegrist

Crystal Palace have been linked with Dundee United goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist, who the Scottish club want to tie down to a new contract.

According to a report from The Daily Record, the Eagles are among a host of clubs who have watched the shot-stopper, with Hull City and Nottingham Forest also keeping tabs on his situation in Scotland.

Dundee United lost to St Mirren in the play-offs recently, and they could face losing a host of players this summer, including their goalkeeper.

The 27-year-old has represented his native Switzerland at U17, U18, U19 and U21 level. 

Siegrist struggled to make an impact at Aston Villa, where he didn’t make a first-team appearance. Following this, he had loan spells with Burton Albion in 2013, Cambridge United in 2014 and then brief tenures at Solihull Moors and Wycombe Wanderers. 

With Palace seemingly looking at getting a goalkeeper, Siegrist could be a suitable choice, as he is known for commanding his box, and certainly has age on his side as clubs come calling.
