00:00Premier League side Crystal Palace are reportedly plotting an ambitious double
00:06swoop for two Liverpool players, Ben Doak and Louis Koumas, this summer. Known for
00:12developing young talents, Palace have successfully turned players like
00:16Eberice Eze, Mark Gahy and Michael Alisse into stars and are now eyeing
00:21Liverpool's rising talents to bolster their squad. Doak, a 17-year-old winger,
00:27was the subject of interest from Palace in January and remains on their radar.
00:32Since joining Liverpool from Celtic for a £600,000 fee in 2022, Doak has
00:38struggled for regular first-team football but impressed during his loan
00:42spell at Middlesbrough. He made a mark with three goals and seven assists in
00:4723 championship appearances. Palace see him as a valuable addition to their
00:52attack, offering depth and competition to their current options. Liverpool,
00:56however, may face a tough decision regarding his future. With the winger's
01:01potential, bot Arnie Schlott expressed admiration for him, describing Doak as
01:06special and noting his dribbling skills and bravery on the ball. Despite his
01:11limited appearances at Anfield, Schlott may prefer to keep the young talent at
01:15the club, especially as the Reds look to strengthen their squad in the upcoming
01:20season. Liverpool reportedly value Doak at £30m during the January
01:25transfer window, a price tag that Palace didn't meet, raising questions about
01:29whether the Reds will entertain offers during the summer. In addition to Doak,
01:34Crystal Palace have also turned their attention to Louis Koumas, a 20-year-old
01:39midfielder currently on loan at Stoke City. The son of former Premier League
01:43player Jason Koumas, the Welsh youngster has impressed with three goals and two
01:48assists this season. With Palace keen on him, Liverpool may find themselves
01:54weighing the option of letting Koumas go, despite his promising performances in
01:59the second tier. As Palace target both players for a summer move, Liverpool
02:05could face difficult choices on whether to part with their young talents or keep
02:10them as part of their future plans.
