Crystal Palace rival Burnley, Watford for RB Leipzig striker Ademola Lookman

Crystal Palace are eyeing RB Leipzig striker Ademola Lookman.

The Sun says Palace are considering Lookman, 23, who can come back to the Prem from Germans RB Leipzig on loan — but it will cost a fortune.

The forward is fancied by Burnley and Watford after spending last season at Fulham.

But the Bundesliga club's stunning £3.5million loan fee, plus wages of £50,000 a week, are too much for admirers.

Palace manager Patrick Vieira has been given funds to spend this summer and has looked to upgrade his defence with the additions of Marc Guehi and Joachim Anderson.
