Dominic Solanke wants loan move to Crystal Palace in bid to improve Liverpool prospects

The 21-year-old is yet to feature under Jurgen Klopp this season, and has failed to hit the heights since joining from Chelsea

LIVERPOOL striker Dominic Solanke is ready to say yes to a loan move to Crystal Palace — because he wants to come back to the Kop.

The England Under-21 star has become the most wanted man in the Prem with FIVE clubs after him — and some wanting to buy him permanently.

But Solanke’s dream is still to make it on Merseyside and that gives Palace an advantage as he decides his move over the next 24 hours.

Brighton tried to sign Solanke full-time, Bournemouth are back in the hunt and Watford came into the race as he looks for the club to join this weekend for the game time he cannot get at Anfield.

All are keen but some want to get him outright, which is not what Solanke, 21, wants at the moment.

Palace have been in on that basis for weeks but the Reds let him talk to the Cherries and Seagulls, while the Hornets joined in late on.

Huddersfield and Steven Gerrard’s Rangers want Solanke too but Liverpool are keen on him gaining Prem time after 18 months of frustration since signing from Chelsea.

Bournemouth are also keen on Liverpool right-back Nathaniel Clyne to replace injured skipper Simon Francis but might have to buy him, with Fulham also still keen.

The Cherries cannot take two players from the same Prem club on loan so would be unable to sign Clyne short term if Solanke joins them.

Palace have also been linked with Cherries striker Jermain Defoe and he is wanted on loan by Championship clubs but wages make a deal hard to broker.
