Crystal Palace are reportedly weighing up a loan move for Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Nigeria international, currently on loan at Bundesliga side FC Augsburg, has caught the attention of Palace scouts following a consistent run of performances in Germany.
Onyeka has featured in 26 league matches this season under Augsburg manager Jess Thorup, but the German club is not expected to pursue a permanent deal once his loan spell expires.
Onyeka is set to return to Brentford at the end of the current campaign, with his long-term future at the West London club uncertain.
Reports from Completesports.com indicate that Crystal Palace have emerged as serious contenders for his signature, with a potential loan deal being discussed.
Palace are preparing to table an offer for the 27-year-old, who is valued for his defensive strength and work rate in midfield.
The South London club are believed to see Onyeka as a potential asset to bolster their squad depth ahead of next season.
Onyeka first arrived in the Premier League in July 2021, joining Brentford from Danish side FC Midtjylland.
Since his move to England, he has made 69 league appearances for the Bees, registering one goal and four assists.
Though not always a regular starter at Brentford, his contributions in midfield have been appreciated by the coaching staff, particularly for his ability to break up opposition play and cover ground effectively.
However, with Brentford exploring other midfield options, Onyeka’s opportunities have been limited, prompting the temporary move to Augsburg for more consistent game time.
Crystal Palace are expected to reshape parts of their squad in the upcoming transfer window, with midfield reinforcements identified as a priority area.
The Eagles are reportedly keen on players with Premier League experience who can make an immediate impact—criteria Onyeka fits.
No formal approach has yet been confirmed, but Palace’s growing interest could see negotiations with Brentford accelerate once the season concludes.
As Onyeka prepares to wrap up his loan spell in the Bundesliga, his next destination could be just across the capital, with Selhurst Park potentially offering the midfielder a new chapter in his Premier League journey.
