Crystal Palace have been encouraged in their interest for Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Filip Kostic.

The Frankfurter Rundschau says Palace target Kostic is now said to be available for just £19 million.

The global health crisis is forcing the Bundesliga club to accept a reduced fee for their star man, just one year after they sold Ante Rebic, Luka Jovic and Sebastian Haller to AC Milan, Real Madrid and West Ham United respectively.

Kostic, who spent time at Stuttgart and Hamburg had been in brilliant form for Frankfurt this season producing 12 goals and 15 assists from the left-wing.

Palace will turn to Kostic if they are unable to hold onto Wilfried Zaha over the summer.
