Joe Ledley is set to leave Crystal Palace this summer with Aston Villa, Derby and West Brom all interested.

Joe Ledley is on the hunt for a new club with his current contract at Crystal Palace set to expire at the end of June.
The Sun reports that there is interest from China and Germany in the midfielder – who has said he is not opposed to moving abroad – while a trio of English sides are also in the race.
Two of those are from the Championship in Aston Villa and Derby County, while West Bromwich Albion are currently the only Premier League team in the running.
The Baggies should use that to their advantage to seal a deal to sign Ledley as soon as possible, especially as central midfield has already been depleted at the Hawthorns this summer with Darren Fletcher’s departure for Stoke City.
Tony Pulis celebrates
At 30-years-old the Wales international still has much to offer and knows current West Brom manager Tony Pulis well having been signed from Celtic by Pulis in January 2014 when he was Palace boss.
Before things change the West Midlands club need to capitalise on their unique position of being the only top flight club in England interested in the Welshman and tie him down to a contract.
