Crystal Palace, West Ham United rival Fulham in Daizen Maeda chase

Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Fulham are interested in signing the Celtic attacker Daizen Maeda at the end of the season.

The Japanese International has been outstanding for the Scottish outfit, and he will cost £25 million according to a report from CaughtOffside.

It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace, West Ham or Fulham come forward with an offer to sign him in the summer. He could prove to be the ideal acquisition for them, and he will improve all three clubs going forward.

He has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool as well.

He is capable of operating as a centre forward as well as a winger. His versatility will be an added bonus for the three London clubs. The player has scored 33 goals in all competitions this season, and there is no doubt that he has proven himself in Scotland. He will look to take the next step and his development and join a bigger club. Moving to the Premier League could be ideal for him. It would be a massive opportunity for him, and he will look to test himself at a higher level. The player is at the peak of his powers, and this could be the right time for him to try out a new challenge.

All three clubs could use Maeda

Crystal Palace need a quality attacker at their disposal. They have been overly dependent on Jean-Philippe Mateta. The French attacker needs more support in the attack, and the Japanese International could be the ideal acquisition. He is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running in English football if the transfer goes through.

On the other hand, West Ham United are crying out for a reliable goalscorer. Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug has been underwhelming, and he has struggled with injury problems as well. They need to replace him, and the Japanese international could be the ideal acquisition.

As far as Fulham are concerned, they need someone who can support Rodrigo Muniz in the attack, and the Celtic star seems like the perfect fit. It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs comes forward with an official offer to sign the Japanese star.
