Crystal Palace youngster Nya Kirby is set to be released by the Eagles this summer with Bournemouth, Watford and Club Brugge listed as potential new suitors.
What's the word?
According to the Bournemouth Echo, via the 72, the Palace academy product is a target for the aforementioned clubs who would each offer the 22-year-old something different.
Bournemouth can now provide Premier League football following their promotion back to the top-flight whilst Watford will be a Championship outfit once again following their relegation.
As for Club Brugge, the Belgian club would provide the midfielder with the opportunity to start fresh abroad, something that has proven to work wonders for young, English talents of late.
Palace must axe Kirby
Although there is still time to offer Kirby a new contract, the south London outfit must stick with their decision and allow the Englishman to depart.
Having worked his way up the youth ranks at Crystal Palace, the 22-year-old has made just one first team appearance for Patrick Vieira's side, coming under former manager Roy Hodgson last season in an EFL Cup defeat against Bournemouth.
However, the midfielder has impressed for the U23s in Premier League 2 this term, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in 20 appearances.
Besides his one first-team appearance for the Eagles, Kirby has played regular senior football with loan spells at both Blackpool in 2018/19 and Tranmere Rovers last campaign, although he didn't make an impression at either outfit.
Having been limited to just eight appearances for a League Two side in Tranmere certainly wouldn't have convinced Vieira that the 22-year-old is ready for Premier League football and therefore the only logical step is to release him.
There is an argument for the Frenchman to give the youngster a chance with numerous midfielders set to depart Selhurst Park this summer.
Conor Gallagher will return to Chelsea upon the conclusion of his loan spell whilst both James McArthur and Cheikhou Kouyate are set to be released.
It will be a ruthless move, with the midfielder labelled as "terrific" by former Blackpool boss Terry McPhillips whilst on loan with the Tangerines.
However, there is little evidence to suggest that the £6.9k-per-week Englishman has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League, at least currently.
