Crystal Palace are interested in signing the Chelsea player Luke Campbell this summer.
According to a report from The Mirror, the player will be a free agent this summer, and Crystal Palace have already held talks with him regarding a potential move.
Palace need more depth
They are looking to bring in a backup goalkeeper, and Campbell could prove to be a useful acquisition for them.
The 19-year-old is highly rated in England, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Crystal Palace would do well to sign a player of his potential on a free transfer. The deal could look like a master stroke in the long term.
Meanwhile, they are not the only club keen on the 19-year-old goalkeeper, and they will face competition from other English clubs. It remains to be seen whether Crystal Palace can wrap up the move quickly. They have a talented squad and a quality manager at their disposal.

Luke Campbell could fancy Palace move
Campbell will be attracted to the idea of joining them. The opportunity to join a Premier League club will be quite exciting for the youngster. However, he needs ample opportunities to continue his development. He must seek game time assurances from Crystal Palace before joining the club. Sitting on the bench at the London club is unlikely to benefit him. It remains to be seen whether Crystal Palace are prepared to provide him with a clear pathway to the first team.
Crystal Palace managed to win the FA Cup last season, and they have secured European football for next year. They need a deeper squad with more quality. It is no surprise that they are looking to bring in talented young players who could be excellent rotational options for them.
Palace need to improve their squad adequately, and they should look to bring in more depth in the attacking unit as well.
