Milot Rashica of Werder Bremen controls the ball during the Bundesliga match between SV Werder Bremen and FC Schalke 04 at Weserstadion on March 08, 2019 in Bremen, Germany.

Crystal Palace fans could be forgiven for looking ahead to next season given a lukewarm Premier League campaign which hasn’t been helped in the slightest by M23 rivals Brighton & Hove Albion doing the double over them this term.

One player which the Eagles have been linked with regarding a possible summer move is Werder Bremen ace Milot Rashica, a 22-year-old left winger who can also play on the right wing and as a second striker, according to Transfermarkt.

Calciomercato stated last month that Palace have taken an interest in the 20-capped Kosovo international, and following his latest exploits for the Bundesliga club, they should definitely take a closer look at him.

On Friday, Bremen claimed a 4-2 win over Schalke 04 and Rashica was on top form, levelling for the hosts just after the half-hour mark as he turned in Max Kruse’s cross and firing in a third in the 73rd minute after being set up by Maximilian Eggestein.

Milot Rashica of Bremen scores his first goal during the Bundesliga match between SV Werder Bremen and FC Schalke 04 at Weserstadion on March 08, 2019 in Bremen, Germany.

His performance against Manchester City’s Champions League last-16 opponents yielded a rating of 8.57 on Whoscored, just his latest impressive performance in recent weeks, and takes his tally to six goals and an assist in 17 league games (Transfermarkt).

Rashica is certainly developing nicely in his first full season in the Bundesliga, having moved from Vitesse in January 2018, and having in turn graduated from the Football Superleague of Kosovo to the Eredivisie in 2015, could the Premier League be next on the cards?
