Crystal Palace starlet wanted in Coventry loan with Patrick Vieira wanting 19-year-old to get more first-team action

CRYSTAL PALACE teenager Luke Plange is wanted on loan by Coventry.

Plange, 19, was loaned back to Wayne Rooney’s Derby after signing for Palace in January.

He made 24 appearances for the relegated Rams and scored four goals last season.

Now the striker could be on his way back to the Midlands.

Coventry boss Mark Robins has made an inquiry for Plange.

And the Sky Blues may need him as Swedish striker Viktor Gyorekes could be sold.

Premier League new boys Fulham are keen.

Championship rivals Middlesbrough are also interested in a swoop.

Palace boss Patrick Vieira is keen for Plange to play and develop following his breakthrough season at Pride Park.

Coventry also like Palace’s Republic of Ireland left-back Tayo Adaramola.

And he could also be allowed out to get regular game time.

The 18-year-old was handed his first-team debut by Vieira back in February in the FA Cup third round victory over Hartlepool.

He then got another outing the following month in the same competition in the win against Stoke City.
