Rangers are the latest top flight club interested in Clyne
QUEENS Park Rangers are the latest club to show an interest in the Eagles' talented full-back Nathaniel Clyne.
The 20-year-old is being tracked by several Premier League teams after starring for Palace this season.
Clyne has been subject to bids from Birmingham and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the past, but decided to stay at Selhurst Park and play first team football rather than warm the bench in the top flight.
However, the Advertiser has been told that a "whole host of clubs" are now after the defender, and he is widely expected to leave this summer.
Neil Warnock's Hoops are just the latest to be considering a move. Warnock knows Clyne well from his time at Palace and feels he could be an excellent addition to the Rangers squad as they prepare for life in the Premier League.
But QPR look certain to face stiff competition for the right-back's signature. Fulham, Tottenham and Arsenal are also reported to be monitoring the situation.
According to sources close to the player, Clyne has no intention of signing a new deal at Palace, that has been on the table since last year, despite his current package making him one of the lowest earners in the first team squad.
Clyne was named the Eagles Player of the Year at the club's awards evening last Saturday, but failed to turn up to collect his trophy.
His absence only added fuel to the speculation that the young defender is determined to leave.
Co-chairman Steve Parish said Clyne's no show was merely a "misunderstanding", but admitted that it would be difficult for the Eagles to hold onto the highly sought after defender much longer.
He insisted no offers have come in for the teenager but knows top flight football would be hard to resist.
"He is a fantastic player and definitely has the potential to play in the Premier League, there is no point denying it," he said. "No one has come in for him yet.
"If they do, the manager will consider the offer and do what's best for the football club."
