Tottenham Hotspur look set to let Jibril Okedina go with Premier League neighbours Crystal Palace reportedly interested.
Crystal Palace are interested in signing youngster Jubril Okedina once he leaves Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to All Nigeria Soccer.
A versatile defender who can play at right back or centre-half, Okedina has made 11 appearances for Spurs’ U18 side this season.
But it seems that the London-born teenager is entering his final few weeks as a Tottenham player.
Okedina’s contract expires in June and it is claimed that he will not be offered fresh terms by Mauricio Pochettino’s side. Although he should not struggle to find a new club, having already held talks with a number of Premier League and Championship sides.
London rivals Crystal Palace are interested in signing Okedina on a free transfer while Swansea City and Ipswich Town are also reported to have expressed an interest, All Nigeria Soccer adds.
Interestingly, Palace are set to face off against Tottenham on Wednesday night as Pochettino’s top four hopefuls host Roy Hodgson’s Eagles at the opening of their brand new, space age stadium.
And this could give Crystal Palace the chance to hold further talks with Spurs’ chiefs about a potential deal for Okedina.
