Patrick Agyemang has been linked with a move away from Derby County ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Football Insider, Leeds United and Crystal Palace are interested in securing the signature of Patrick Agyemang. The 25-year-old has done quite well for the EFL Championship outfit, and he has 10 goals to his name.
The player is expected to be a part of the United States national team for the upcoming World Cup. There is no doubt that Agyemang is a quality player, and he could be a useful acquisition for both clubs. Leeds United will need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit.
The Whites have been overly dependent on Dominic Calvert-Lewin this season. They need more options in the final third, and the 25-year-old could be an excellent addition, thus explaining the West Yorkshire club’s interest in him.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be exciting for him. It would be a step up in the American striker’s career, and he would get to test himself against top-class defenders in the top flight. Regular football in England could help him improve further.
Crystal Palace is also keen on Agyemang
On the other hand, Crystal Palace are also monitoring his progress. The Eagles need to improve the quality of their attacking unit. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to get the deal done. They could lose Jean-Philippe Mateta soon.
The French international has been linked with an exit from the club in recent months. He was very close to leaving in January, but the move did not materialise eventually. Palace will need to start planning for contingencies, and signing the 25-year-old striker could be a wise decision. Both clubs could be exciting opportunities for the player, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Derby County will need to prepare for his departure at the end of the season. Even though the Rams will not want to lose an important player like him, they could be powerless to stop him from leaving a top Premier League club with a suitable offer. The American striker is likely to be attracted to the idea of playing in the top flight as well.
