I haven't seen anyone mention this guy and I forgot about him myself!
He's playing for Leverkusen (well, hardly playing) and what's so special about him is that whenever he comes on for like 5 minutes he still manages to score!! He's a wondersub, 7 goals in 200 minutes played for Leverkusen, a stat better than Messi's. Yes, he probably can't keep this up in the long term, but he had many goals in the 2.Bundesliga too. He's only 23 and they would let him go for a very low sum.
Could be worth a shout, he might develop into an interesting forward.

Of course, there's also the same age, similar numbers player right here in the PL- Iheanacho (but he'd be expensive, as Leicester will want to recoup a bit of their investment)

Those weren't starts, they were matches played (mostly as a 5-10 minute sub). Take all the goals in Zweite if you want a more accurate picture: 18 in 77 matches.
But it still doesn't show the correct picture. He was a 19 to 21 year old player, who played only around 4.000 minutes (18 goals in 4.000 wasn't bad for a player his age in the 2.Bundesliga, therefore Leverkusen took him in their first team).

I'm not saying he;s the real deal, but I would vouch that there are some great young players who don't play in the Bundesliga and who, with patience, can become greats:

Donis Avdijaj -21 yo- (best player ever in Bundesliga youth ranks who doesn't play at all for Schalke and is linked with Apoel lol)

Federico Palacios -22 yo- who doesn't play at all for RB Salzburg

Nikos Zografakis -18 yo- plays for Hertha's second team

A lot of guys at Werder's B team : Eggestein (19, the striker, not his brother), Schmidt (19), David Philipp (17), Ihorst (17)

A lot of guys at Hoffenheim: Passlack (19- who is more than just a right defender, he was one of the best right midfielders in Germany's youth championships), Robin Hack (19), Ochs (20), David Otto (17), Skenderovic (19)

A lot of guys at Borussia and the first one who comes to mind when wanting to play first team football is Jacob Bruun Larsen, who will become one of the best attacking players in the following years.

All these players would be willing to come to Palace if they got a little more playing time with the first team and would be a MASSIVE improvement on Kaikai and Ladapo.
