Crystal Palace and Aston Villa have entered the chase for Liverpool linked Ajax winger Anwar El Ghazi, according to Sky Italia.
The 21-year-old winger has been attracting attention of scouts from all over Europe with his performances for Ajax for some time, and scored eleven goals in the recently concluded season in the Netherlands.
It emerged earlier this year that Liverpool have their eyes on the young Dutch star and they did make a tentative initial approach to probe the possibility of signing El Ghazi this summer.
However, it seems they are not the only English club who are after the winger’s signature as it has been claimed that Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are also keeping tabs on the 21-year-old.
While Liverpool are said to be the favourites to land him and Palace can still offer him Premier League football, recently relegated Aston Villa are confident that they can lure El Ghazi to Villa Park this summer.

Randy Lerner recently sold Aston Villa to the Recon Group, owned by Chinese businessman Dr Tony Jiantong Xia, and it has been claimed that the club’s new owners have a good relationship with super agent Jorge Mendes, who manages El Ghazi’s career.
And despite their relegation to the Championship, the club could use the relationship to convince Mendes to take his client to the Midlands club this summer.
