Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have joined the list of clubs keeping tabs on new England youngster Archie Brown.
Full-back Brown came through Derby County ’s academy before leaving in 2021 and has been making a name for himself abroad firstly in Switzerland with Lausanne and then Gent in Belgium. His progress has caught the attention of the FA and he was rewarded last week with a first ever international call up when he was selected for England’s Elite League Squad, formerly the Under-20s.
The left-back’s performances have also seen him attract increasing attention from clubs ahead of this summer’s window. Chelsea, West Ham and Everton have all previously been linked with moves for Brown.
Villa and Palace have now made recent enquiries, along with the Hammers, into Brown’s situation with Gent hoping to attract as much as £17million from any deal. Europa League qualifiers Lyon, meanwhile, are among the overseas clubs interested in Brown and the French side have also made a fresh check.
His admirers will get another chance to run the rule over him when he links up with the Elite League Squad for their upcoming friendlies against Sweden and Ireland.
