Crystal Palace have been linked with a move for Oliver Burke.

After a disappointing spell in Germany, Oliver Burke reportedly could be heading to the Premier League to Crystal Palace.

According to reports from Kicker, the 20-year-old has been told that he is not wanted by RB Leipzig.

Burke made an ambitious move to Leipzig, who paid Nottingham Forest £13 million, according to BBC, last summer, thus becoming Scotland’s biggest export ever.

Leipzig finished as runners-up to Bayern Munich and qualified directly for the Champions League last season, but Burke was left to bit-part roles only.

It seems Leipzig have given up on him, and are ready to send their club-record signing back to England after just 12 months.

The report claims that Palace have revealed their “concrete interest” in signing the player. Leipzig will consider a direct transfer rather than sending him on loan.

Crystal Palace are excited with the transfer link, judging by the reactions on social networking site Twitter. Here are some of the selected tweets:
