It seems Crystal Palace are continuing to do their window shopping at Liverpool ahead of the summer according to reliable reports.

The Eagles expressed strong interest in 19-year-old winger Ben Doak during the January transfer window.

Doak, currently on loan at Middlesbrough, has been a standout performer in the Championship, contributing three goals and seven assists in 24 appearances under Michael Carrick.

His displays have helped Middlesbrough climb into the playoff positions, catching the attention of several Premier League clubs, including Palace.

The North London club initially submitted a £15 million bid for Doak, which Liverpool swiftly rejected, valuing the Scottish international closer to £30 million.

Palace reportedly planned to return with an improved £20 million offer, but Liverpool remained firm in their stance, unwilling to part with a player with such a high potential

A clause in Doak’s loan agreement also ensured he would remain at Middlesbrough for the rest of the season, further complicating any potential move.

Despite injury setbacks last season, he has thrived in the Championship, showcasing creativity, pace, and composure in the final third.

And it now seems another academy graduate has caught the eye of Oliver Glasner and co?

The North London outfit are looking at signing Lewis Koumas as a possible alternative to Ben Doak – who has also caught the attention of Bournemouth.

This is according to the reliable Alan Nixon on his Patreon.

The 19-year-old has racked up 38 appearances while on loan at Stoke City, chipping in with six goals and three assists in the process.

His tally includes 32 appearances in the Championship, showcasing that he is a regular fixture in the squad.

It is believed that Palace could look to make their move as soon as this summer.

The forward’s journey with Liverpool began when he joined the academy as an Under-11 player from Tranmere Rovers.

The Welsh international had a memorable senior debut where he scored in a 3-0 victory over Southampton in the FA Cup last season.

Following an impressive pre-season tour with the first team, Koumas secured his future at Anfield by signing a long-term contract in August 2023.
