Ajax and Feyenoord interested in ‘extremely direct’ Crystal Palace midfielder | OneFootball

According to Fabrizio Romano, Ajax and Feyenoord have set their sights on Crystal Palace talent Hindolo Mustapha (18).

According to the transfer expert, Mustapha has attracted interest from several clubs, and a summer exit from South London seems obvious, either temporarily or permanently. The attacking midfielder has already received more than three loan proposals, while Ajax and Feyenoord hope to lure him away permanently.

Mustapha has been playing in the Crystal Palace youth system since he was nine and currently plays for the U21s. This season, he has scored 11 goals and provided six assists in 24 official matches.

According to a profile from the Palace Way website, “Mustapha’s attacking play is extremely direct, using his pace and power to run at opponents with aggression and elite dribbling. He uses this ability to beat opponents, both in tight areas and also when there is space to exploit behind the defender.

“For all his height and strength, Mustapha’s best asset is the agility and control with which he dribbles the ball, carrying his team forward and leaving the opposition far behind.”

It is not clear how long Mustapha will remain at Selhurst Park. He signed his first professional contract in January 2024. The Palace prospect has dual English and Sierra Leonean nationality and has played two international matches for the African country.
