Crystal Palace ‘in talks’ to sign exciting young Manchester City forward

Crystal Palace are reportedly in talks to sign Manchester City’s promising young forward Morgan Rogers.

The 18-year-old joined Manchester City in 2019 after leaving West Bromwich Albion in a deal reported to be worth around £8million.

Rogers spent the second half of the 2020-21 campaign on loan at Lincoln City, where he scored six goals in 25 appearances.

Palace’s sporting director Dougie Freedman was at the Imps’ League One fixture at Charlton Athletic at the start of May.

The Mail claim City would want around £7m for Rogers and would ask for a sell-on percentage in any potential deal.

Patrick Vieira has just been named the new Crystal Palace manager and it has been suggested he wants to lower the the average age of the Eagles squad.

Rogers has been capped by England at U15, U16, U17 and U18 level.
