Euro 2016 may come too soon for some up and coming Irish footballers.
It’s understandable that Martin O’Neill won’t bring too many fresh faces to France this summer.
But a man who may be a key part of our World Cup qualifying campaign getting underway later this year, could be set for major summertime move to the Premier League.
Shane Duffy has impressed hugely for Blackburn Rovers this term in the Championship and will be unlucky to miss out on the Euros.
The 24-year-old looks an ideal replacement for John O’Shea at international level, and it seems that a Premier League outfit also see him as a successor to a club legend
According to The Mirror, the centre-half is being linked with a move to Crystal Palace to be a like-for-like with the departing Scott Dann.
Duffy has just a year left on his contract at Ewood Park and is believed to be valued at around £3million.
West Brom, and Hull are also sniffing around the player, but Palace feel they may hold the upper hand for the Irishman.
