The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite attractive for the player and he will look to make his mark at Crystal Palace if the move goes through.

He might not be ready to make an instant impact at the London club but he could be a long-term asset for the club. He will only improve with coaching and experience and he could prove to be a superb future investment for the Eagles.
If the Eagles can sign him for a reasonable amount of money this month, the deal could look like a bargain in the long term. If he manages to fulfil his potential with the London club, he could end up saving millions in the transfer market.
