Who Is Malcolm Ebiowei? Former Arsenal prospect being persued by Man United and Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are reportedly keeping tabs on Derby County teenager Malcolm Ebiowei along with Manchester United.

The 18-year-old forward is of reported interest to several Premier League clubs after breaking into Derby's first time last season under the management of Wayne Rooney. Ebiowei is a striker who can also play on the wing and made 16 appearances for the Rams during the second half of the season, scoring one goal and assisting two more as Derby were relegated to League One.

The teenager's contract at Pride Park expires at the end of June, though, and he has plenty of suitors from the top-flight, with Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United both said to be keen on him in the past, as well as Newcastle. Palace boss Patrick Vieira is said to be 'pushing hard' for Ebiowei to come to Selhurst Park, where the Eagles have already snapped up his teenage teammate Luke Plange in January for a £1million fee.
