Crystal Palace express interest in signing FC Copenhagen centre-back Victor Nelsson but face competition from several European clubs as they look to secure deal for 22-year-old

Crystal Palace have checked on FC Copenhagen centre-back Victor Nelsson as they consider a summer move.

The 22-year-old Denmark international was considered by Aston Villa last year amid talk of a £9m offer and has continued to impress with his unflappable nature.

A number of European clubs are taking an interest including Palace who want to bring down the age of their squad.
