Killian Phillips was at Selhurst Park for Wednesday’s Premier League clash and Crystal Palace are ‘very impressed’ with the midfielder.
According to
Irish Mirror reports, Palace admire the 19-year-old.
However, it’s no secret that Patrick Vieira
has made a concerted effort to reduce the average age of their squad recently.
And starlet Phillips seems to fit the Eagles’ new transfer strategy.
The young Irishman was at Selhurst Park for last night's 2-2 draw with Southampton
“They (Crystal Palace) were very impressed,” Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty said recently.
“He’s a really exciting talent.”
Doherty did admit, however, that he would love to see Phillips stay at the League of Ireland outfit.
“It’s up to me to persuade them (our young players) to stay,” he added.
"We give young players a platform, as is the case with Killian. If he plays for us next year I’ll be over the moon.
“But we don’t want to stand in their way if the move is right.”
