Crystal Palace could make a late bid for Luis Sinisterra with the Premier League side weighing up a move for the Leeds United star in the final hours of the summer transfer window.

That is according to a report from Football Transfers, which notes that Colombian’s future with Daniel Farke’s side does remain uncertain.

Luis Sinisterra may be one player to keep an eye on before the deadline passes. On talent alone, it is a massive surprise that he remains at Leeds heading into the final week of the window.

Crystal Palace could make late Sinisterra move

Sinisterra scored what would prove to be the winning goal against Ipswich Town at the weekend. But perhaps that could still prove to be his final appearance for Leeds.

According to the report from Football Transfers, Crystal Palace are weighing up making a late bid for Sinisterra before the deadline.

Palace, of course, lost Wilfried Zaha earlier in the window. And the 24-year-old definitely did show a glimpse of what he could do during our relegation campaign last year.

He scored five goals in 19 games in the top-flight. And had he been fit for a lot more of the campaign, Leeds would have surely been in a much better position to stay in the division.

He is an ‘exceptional‘ player. But injuries held him back last year. And that obviously cost Leeds in a big way.

It would be a big blow to lose him now. Leeds are running out of time to potentially replace Sinisterra. But you would like to think that the club will have options in mind in case he does depart after such a turbulent window.

However, if Leeds can keep Sinisterra, and keep him fit for the majority of the season, there is no question that our promotion hopes improve dramatically.
