Abdallah Sima has become a wanted man this season, and Fabrizio Romano has shared a big update on the Slavia Prague ace.
Sima, 19, has been likened to Thierry Henry having shown blistering pace and versatility to play across the front line.
The Senegalese attacker has smashed 19 goals and eight assists in 37 appearances for Slavia this term, and looks set for stardom.
Arsenal and West Ham have both been heavily linked; Arsenal seemingly pursuing the next Henry whilst West Ham look to sign yet another Slavia player.
Sima could end up in London, but not with Arsenal or West Ham.
Fabrizio Romano claims that Sima is among the options for Crystal Palace this summer if Frank Lampard is appointed as their new manager.
Roy Hodgson’s contract expires this summer, and it’s suggested that Palace are in talks to make Lampard their new boss following his Chelsea exit.
Sima is seen as a talent to bolster Palace’s attack, and the idea of him joining forces with Wilfried Zaha and Eberechi Eze has to be exciting.
West Ham would hate to lose out on Sima, especially to a London rival and to Lampard himself, and they may now need to make a move quickly, whilst using Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek to sell Sima on the move to East London.
