Crystal Palace scout League One’s 5ft 3in midfield maestro

Crystal Palace are reportedly keeping close tabs on League One star Erhun Oztumer, according to The Sun.

The Premier League side, who suffered a third straight defeat at the weekend against Manchester City, are monitoring the Peterborough United playmaker’s impressive performances this campaign.

The 24-year-old, who was released by Charlton Athletic when he was 16 for being too small, has scored five and assisted six goals in 16 league games for Posh this season.

Oztumer, who arrived at London Road from non-league Dulwich Hamlet back in June 2014, rose through the Aspire Academy ranks in South London along the likes of Simeon Jackson (Blackburn Rovers) and George Elokobi (Colchester United).
