Crystal Palace keen on Norwich City left-back
Jamal Lewis is a target for Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.
According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Crystal Palace are keen on Norwich City left-back Jamal Lewis.
The 22-year-old has a valid contract with Norwich City until June 2023.
Lewis made 84 appearances across all competitions for Norwich City, scoring one goal and supplying 4 assists in return.
He’s incredibly experienced for a 22-year-old and still has tons of room for growth.
As a member of Northern Ireland national football team, Lewis won 6 caps.
His performances have seen him become the target of many Premier League clubs including Crystal Palace.
The report claims that Crystal Palace manager has extensively scouted Jamal Lewis and is considering a move for the left-back. Lewis has been long term target of Roy Hodgson as the manager look to bolster his defensive options for the next season.
The 22-year-old would provide a good variety to Crystal Palace’s defense.
According to the report, “Crystal Palace are tracking Norwich City fullback Jamal Lewis. The Sun says Palace boss Roy Hodgson is keen on the Canaries left-back, 22, and made inquiries in the transfer window. But Norwich did not want to lose him from the survival fight. Dutchman Patrick Van Aanholt knows there is long-term interest from PSV Eindhoven and could head home this summer. Palace could yet offer him a new contract, with his current one running until the middle of 2021. But a bid for Northern Ireland international Lewis is an attractive alternative.”

Norwich would be wise to keep the Northern Ireland international, but if they do let him go expect it to be for a hefty sum.
Undoubtedly he would be a fantastic recruit for Crystal Palace.
It will be interesting to see what happens when Crystal Palace come calling for Lewis this summer.
