Saturday saw an unbelievable nine-goal thriller for Crystal Palace against Crawley Town and clearly one player has caught the eye.
The summer transfer window is coming together for Crystal Palace, with just one of the big three sold as of now, which bodes well for the chances of keeping some star players.
Michael Olise is the only one to be sold so far, with two arrivals confirmed and a third on his way.
But there is still one month remaining in the transfer window and this means there is still a chance the Eagles will see players depart.
Now, it’s been reported that a Premier League rival is interested in signing one of Palace’s most reliable players.

Leicester targeting Jordan Ayew
After already losing Olise, Crystal Palace will likely be expecting further exits to transpire at some point amid strong links tying Ebere Eze away from the club.
However, now being linked away is not one of the big players at the club but rather Jordan Ayew, who arrived for a bargain fee of £2.5m.
It comes according to The Sun who report that Leicester City are eyeing up a shock transfer move for Ayew this summer – days after the Ghanian scored vs Crawley in the 6-3 win.
This comes as the Foxes weigh up whether to let Tom Cannon go this summer, while Ayew is a target to bolster the attacking ranks upon their return to the Premier League.
Ayew also has interest from Saudi Arabia which could suggest he won’t be a Palace player much longer – the arrival of Ismaila Sarr will also see him pushed further down the pecking order.
Jordan Ayew could now be the third choice
When pre-season began, Ayew was the Eagles’ first choice as a right-sided forward but this has now been flipped on its head.
Through pre-season, the performances of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi have been undeniable and mean he’s now forced himself ahead in the pecking order.
Rak-Sakyi’s brace against Crawley Town was just the latest impressive display with his goals being excellent and showing the magic he’s capable of.
This, with the addition of Sarr’s arrival, could mean Ayew finds himself surplus to requirements and heading for the exit doors.
