Crystal Palace Face European Competition in Race to Sign Former Ballon d'Or Nominee

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Massimo Luongo could be set for a summer move away from the Championship after making an impression on scouts across Europe this season with his impressive goal return for the Hoops.

The 25-year-old has been one of QPR's most important players this season and looks ready to make the step up to top-flight football.

The club's director of football Les Ferdinand has already admitted that it will be "impossible to hold on to him" if Luongo continues scoring goals from midfield.

It is understood that Crystal Palace are monitoring the former Tottenham midfielder, who was on the Ballon d'Or list of nominees in 2015, but Luongo's advisor David Magrone confirmed that the Eagles will face competition from clubs in Italy and Spain.
