Crystal Palace are interested in signing Ezri Konsa from Brentford in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported that Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman watched Konsa in action last week.

The Eagles will reportedly make a move should Championship club Brentford decide to cash in on the 21-year-old defender.

According to The Sun, Brentford value the former Charlton Athletic defender at £15 million.

The British tabloid has also claimed that Arsenal wanted to sign the England Under-21 international defender in the January transfer window, but the Gunners dropped their interest due to his dip in form.

Good signing for Brentford?

Konsa is a very talented and promising young defender who has proved himself in the Championship.

There is always an element risk involved in signing a player from the second tier of English football, and the reported price-tag of £15m does appear a bit too much for the 21-year-old.

However, the youngster is a risk worth taking for Palace, especially as they could sell him for a much higher price in the future.
