Matt O'Riley is being 'eyed up' by Crystal Palace with top scout Dougie Freedman watching him in action, according to a report.
The Celtic star has been in stunning form for Ange Postecoglou's side since his arrival from MK Dons in January. The Scottish champions shelled out just £1.5million for his services from the English League One club with a host of sides from England's top flight now keeping a close watch including Patrick Vieira's Eagles.
Freedman is said to have watched the midfielder in Champions League action against RB Leipzig in Germany, according to the Scottish Sun. Newcastle United watched the Denmark Under-21 international in action against Croatia last month while Leicester City and former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers are long-term admirers of the 21-year-old - who has claimed he's in no rush to depart Glasgow.

O'Riley has featured 12 times in all competitions for the Hoops this season and has provided five assists to date.
Speaking last month about transfer interest, the midfielder said: "I know that Leicester showed a lot of interest in me. And I think Newcastle were there too. But it didn't matter that any of them made an offer. If there is no offer, then it is not very concrete in my head.
“I didn't really think about it because nobody from Celtic told me that, for example, Newcastle had made an offer. It wasn't like that.
"So there wasn't much to think about, and a lot is also written in the media. It's great to get some recognition, because it means that I'm doing well at Celtic. But as I say, Celtic is the perfect place for me right now.
"It's a big club, we play in the Champions League, the fans are insanely good and the team is good. It's a perfect place to be, and I also think it's a good place to be if I want to go to the World Cup with Denmark.”
