Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town are interested in signing Ajdin Hrustic from Groningen in the January transfer window, according to The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 18:19, Saturday, November 24, 2018).

It has been reported that Premier League duo Palace and Huddersfield are keen on the 22-year-old winger and are considering making moves in January.

Promising talent

Hrustic, who can also operate as an attacking midfielder, made his professional debut for Groningen only last year.

The Australia international has only started his professional club football career, but the 22-year-old has already shown what he is capable of and how much potential he has.

The young winger has made eight starts and two substitute appearances in the Eredivisie for Groningen so far this season, providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.

Risky signing?

Both Palace and Huddersfield are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

While Hrustic would be a good long-term signing for the Eagles or the Terriers, perhaps they should focus on signing players who are going to make an immediate impact and help them escape the drop from the Premier League.
