Eagles Midfielder wanted by Crystal Palace

English Premier League side Crystal Palace have reportedly set their sights on signing Nigeria international Joel Obi this summer.

The Selhurst Park side are looking to overhaul the squad ahead of the new EPL season and see the Torino
of Italy midfielder as a potential buy.

But they must fend off competition from Portuguese top sides Benfica and Porto according to a report by
SportItalia and Tuttomercatoweb.

The Nigerian who will be on duty at the FIFA World Cup in Russia will surely be followed by Palace and
other clubs who have him on their wish list.

Obi rose through the ranks in Inter Milan before joining Torino in 2005 where he has grown despite a
history of injuries.
