Crystal Palace make move to sign Leeds United striker

Crystal Palace have identified Joel Piroe as a potential replacement for Jean-Philippe Mateta, with Sky Sports reporting that the London club have made an official enquiry for the Leeds United striker.

With Mateta strongly linked with a move away from Selhurst Park before the transfer deadline, Palace are preparing contingency plans and Piroe has emerged as one of their leading options.

The 26-year-old Dutchman was expected to shine for the Whites but his Premier League impact under Daniel Farke has been limited.
