Palace negotiating for Naouirou Ahamada

Crystal Palace are in talks with Stuttgart over the signing of promising young midfielder Naouirou Ahamada.

According to MailOnline, Patrick Vieira is looking to bolster his team’s midfield with the arrival of the 20-year-old, while other outlets report that a deal is in fact done between the Eagles and Stuttgart.

The Marseille-born came through the Juventus academy before moving to the Bundesliga, initially on loan. Ahamada has also represented his native France at youth level.

Ahamada has played 17 times for struggling Stuttgart this season and chipped in two goals.
