Palace face a battle to keep hold of one of their brightest Academy talents next winter with a host of top European clubs keen on signing John Bostock.

The 15-year-old midfielder will be able to sign professional terms next January, and the Sunday Mirror reports that Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona are all hoping to snap him up.

Indeed, Palace have already received two written offers for the player - one of which is believed to have come from Chelsea.
