Back in the summer, Crystal Palace were linked with a move for Everton forward Ademola Lookman, who had been put up for sale by the Toffees.
The interest was just the latest chapter of the Eagles' Lookman pursuit, having previously eyed the attacker as he was coming through the ranks at south London rivals Charlton.
Back then, The Independent reported that Lookman was valued at £6m.
However, in the summer just gone, RB Leipzig beat Palace to the chase and parted with £22.5m to bring the Everton misfit back to Germany.
Lookman had previously starred for the Bundesliga side while on loan in the second half of the 2017/18 campaign, scoring five goals and grabbing four assists in just 11 appearances.
He has flopped hugely since his permanent return to Leipzig though, and Palace will now be thanking their lucky stars that they were beaten to his signature by the German outfit.
The 21-year-old has made just two substitute appearances since signing for Leipzig on a permanent basis, playing a grand total of 42 minutes.
In those two appearances, Lookman has registered one dribble per game, but also one unsuccessful touch per game.
As of now, his big-money switch to Germany has largely been a terrible move by Leipzig, and the south Londoners will be thankful that they weren't the ones lumped with what appears to be an out-of-sorts footballer.
WhoScored has handed Lookman a mere 6.18 match rating for his efforts, and while he hasn't had much time on the pitch, he hasn't scored a goal or even got an assist - in fact, the areas in which shots per game and key passes per game are found on WhoScored remain blank, such has been the England U21 man's ineffectiveness in those areas.
It may not have seemed like it at the time, but Palace dodged a bullet with this £22.5m flop.
