Victor Orta may want Eberechi Eze at Leeds United, but he now has his heart set on a move to Crystal Palace, the Daily Mail report.
The Daily Mirror claimed last week that Leeds were looking to signing the QPR playmaker, with Orta a massive fan of his talents.
However, Leeds’ chances of landing the 22-year-old may have just taken a blow.
Palace have also been pushing hard to sign Eze, as they look to inject more creativity into their team, and the skilful attacking midfielder is now said to be wanting a move to Selhurst Park.
Leeds won’t be the only side disappointed by that news, as West Ham United and Fulham had also been chasing him, according to the Mail.
It is no surprise why Eze has so many admirers either, as his form at Championship level last term was highly eye catching.
Eze scored 14 goals and claimed eight assists, and he would have added far more creativity to Bielsa’s squad if Leeds could have got hold of him.
