Crystal Palace’s Jairo Reidewald could be on his way out of the club, with a loan to Germany on the horizon before the end of the European transfer window.
The Dutch defender, who was signed by former Palace boss Frank de Boer, has only made 12 appearances in the Premier League for Palace, and looks likely to exit on a loan deal.
SC Paderborn look likely to take him on loan for the season, without a option to buy the player, however.

Several Palace fans have reacted to the news, with several unsure as to why the Dutchman is being let go with limited depth at the back.
Richard reckons that the game time will do the Dutchman some good.
Twitter: @MattWoosie @TheAthleticUK Good luck Jairo, certainly needs some regular game time somewhere! ? (@Rich789)
Tim would be surprised if he’s let go, especially with Palace’s limited depth at the back.
Twitter: @MattWoosie @TheAthleticUK I’d be surprised. He’s been set up to cover left back if PVA goes down. So if he does go who will be LB cover? (@jimbo2556)
Daniel reckons that poor training performances may be responsible for Jairo being let go.

Read Crystal Palace’s verdict
Jairo Riedewald hasn’t had the best career at Palace, and maybe now is the time to let him go.
However.
Him leaving leaves Palace with very little depth at the back and could lead to some issues if it is not sorted soon.
As shown against Colchester, he wasn’t that effective, however who else can realistically play there if Patrick van Aanholt goes down?
It’s a big mystery, and something that Roy Hodgson will have to sort.
