The 19-year-old has been made available on the cheap by cash-strapped Palace's administrators for just under Ł1million.

Celtic are interested in signing England defender Sol Campbell, but it is thought that the 35-year-old's preference is to remain with Arsenal.
The prospect of signing Campbell has been discussed by the Glasgow club's board, but any deal with the veteran is a long way off.
Campbell returned to the Emirates in January on a short-term deal and went on to make 14 appearances.
A new one-year contract is on offer but has not been formally agreed.
And Campbell has been quoted on ESPN as saying that Celtic, who finished the season without a trophy but second in the Scottish Premier League, would be an attractive option should he fail to agree terms with Arsenal.
He had initially spent five years with Arsenal after leaving English Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in 2001.


I will lose a lot of respect for him if he ends up going there...
