Crystal Palace want to sign RB Leipzig forward Oliver Burke, according to reports in Germany.

Burke, 20, is surplus to requirements at the Bundesliga club after failing to impress in his debut season.

Leipzig signed Burke from Nottingham Forest in a £13m deal last summer.

And he has made just five starts during his time in Germany, scoring once.

German publication Kicker says Crystal Palace are keen to bring the winger to Selhurst Park after Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhutt told him he could leave.

Burke, who is a Scotland international, is still seen as one of Europe’s brightest young talents despite his underwhelming season with Leipzig.

He has drawn comparisons with Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale for his pace and power.

Palace winger Wilfried Zaha is out for a month with a knee injury, and Burke could be a capable replacement.
