The teenager joined Palace at the age of 13 and is already represented by Roc Nation, .the talent agency founded by rapper Jay-Z.
On Roc Nation's website, Lusale is described as "a quick, dynamic winger who is regarded as one of the most exciting attacking players in the UK at under-16 level. "Comfortable playing off the right or left wing, his electrifying pace and direct running with the ball makes him a constant threat to the opposition defence.
He is often the source of goals and assists for his team." LUCKHURST: De Ligt would be a signing nine years in the making READ MORE: Zirkzee fee could rise above release clause United are already in the process of signing Scotland youth international Camron Mpofu from Reading.
