Crystal Palace Academy star Jadan Raymond is being chased by Valencia and Benfica, according to reports.

The 15-year-old midfielder played a key role in Palace’s Super Floodlit Cup success this year.

And Raymond netted the winning penalty in England U17s’ shootout win over Poland to win the Syrenka Cup last week.

The Mail Online reports that his impressive displays have since caught the interest of the Spanish and Portuguese giants.

As he enters the final year of his contract, it then adds that Palace are apparently unwilling to tie him to a professional contract.
