CRYSTAL PALACE have made a £15million bid for Liverpool starlet Ben Doak.
The 19-year-old winger is currently on loan at Middlesbrough from the Premier League leaders.
GettySunSport previously revealed that Doak is keen on returning to Liverpool when his time at Boro ends.
But Palace are keen admirers and he is open to leaving his parent club should he not get a chance at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Arne Slot’s side are interested in Palace captain Marc Guehi and it was thought that the Eagles may try to poach Doak as part of a potential deal.
But their £15m bid is separate from any possible move involving Guehi.
Doak has caught the eye under Michael Carrick, having been named Championship Player of the Month for November after registering five assists.
The Scotland international has also found the back of the net twice this season.
Doak joined Liverpool in March 2022 after making his senior debut for Celtic aged just 16.
The Reds paid the Scottish giants £600,000 in compensation to seal the deal.

He made his first appearance for Liverpool in a Carabao Cup win against Derby and just five days later he penned his first professional contract.
However, Doak‘s rise was halted as he underwent knee surgery and missed nearly all of the 2023/24 season.
But despite his injury woes, he was called up to Scotland’s Euro 2024 provisional squad, only to withdraw due to fitness problems.
Losing Doak in January would be a huge blow to promotion-chasing Boro as they sit fifth in the Championship table.
