Sources: Luton Town and Millwall race to sign Palace star Killian Phillips

Millwall and Luton Town are chasing the signature of Crystal Palace midfielder Killian Phillips on a permanent deal after impressing while on loan at Shrewsbury, sources have told Football Insider.

The 21-year-old is on loan at New Meadow and has become a key player for the League One side.

He is contracted until 2024 with Crystal Palace but the likelihood of him moving in the summer is growing increasingly likely with multiple Championship clubs chasing his services.

The Irish Under-21 international is seen as a top talent and expected to kick on towards the top of the game in the next few years.

He has scored five and assisted four in 28 appearances across all competitions this season.

Millwall and Luton Town are both keen to help him do that at their clubs and have put Phillips near the top of their shopping lists for the summer window.

The midfielder is keen to join a club where he will play regularly.

Those who have worked or played alongside Phillips have labelled him as a top talent.

Phillips will enter the last year of his Palace contract this summer and this has prompted clubs to make a move for him in the coming months.

Both Millwall and Luton are in the battle for the Championship play-offs and could be playing in the Premier League next season.

Killian Phillips could be tempted by the opportunity to become a key man at a top-flight club next season.
