Crystal Palace are planning a shock raid to sign Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez ahead of the likes of Chelsea and Barcelona.
The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the best young prospects in the Eredivisie, and his performance in the 2-0 Europa League final defeat to Manchester United has attracted a lot of suitors.
United boss Jose Mourinho is also said to have had a close watch on the centre-back, but the club appear satisfied after the signing of Victor Lindelof from Benfica.
According to Sport, the Eagles have emerged as shock contenders for Sanchez with manager Frank de Boer keen on strengthening the backline this summer.
Mamadou Sakho's return has been made improbable due to Liverpool's hefty £30m valuation, and they have turned to a younger Sanchez with a potential £22m bid on the table.
De Boer had a successful managerial stint with Ajax earlier in his career, but he has had no say on the development of Sanchez at the Amsterdam-based club.
