Frank de Boer has praised Crystal Palace target Oliver Burke.

The Eagles boss is looking for reinforcements in the wide areas after Wilfried Zaha was ruled out for a month with a knee injury.

And RB Leipzig forward Burke, who is surplus to requirements at the German club, has been touted as a replacement for Palace’s star man.

Even when Zaha returns, the £15m-rated youngster would provide good competition at Selhurst Park.

De Boer said: “Burke is a very promising, young Scottish player. It's always interesting to look at, but we are focusing on other players, too.

“We want quality players who can improve the squad, who are one hundred per cent fit and can fit in directly with how we are playing.”

Leipzig signed Burke from Nottingham Forest in a £13m deal last summer. But he has failed to hold down a regular starting spot.

Burke, 20, is still seen as one of Europe’s brightest young talents despite his underwhelming season with Leipzig.
