da bet nacional: Just after the January transfer window slammed shut, a report emerged revealing that Crystal Palace are eyeing up Norwich left-back Jamal Lewis ahead of the summer, having made enquiries while the future of Patrick van Aanholt also remains uncertain.
da 888casino: We will simply have to wait and see if the Eagles go in for the Englishman when the season comes to a close, although his most recent outing for Norwich was an impressive one and may well have Roy Hodgson drooling over what he saw.
Lewis actually started on the bench, but was forced to replace Sam Byram after 27 minutes.
From that point on, the Norwich No.12 was superb, impressing at both ends of the pitch for the Norfolk-based side.
He registered an impressive seven clearances – only Christoph Zimmermann made more out of all the players on the pitch – while Lewis also recorded three tackles.
Additionally, he showed his attacking qualities by taking one shot at Alisson’s goal, while completing two dribbles.
What makes his performance even more eye-catching, however, is the fact that he shackled Mohamed Salah.
The former Chelsea attacker – once described as a player who “no defender is happy coming up against” and also “dynamic” by former Egypt boss Bob Bradley – failed to score against the Canaries while also finding himself dispossessed on three occasions. No player on the pitch had the ball taken off them more.
Also, Salah had six unsuccessful touches up against Lewis down the right flank, on a day where he also failed to embark on a dribble, nor was he fouled once which showcased how faultless the Crystal Palace target was up against a formidable opponent.
If Hodgson truly is keen on the 22-year-old left-back, then we presume that he will have been left licking his lips at what he saw from the defender against Jurgen Klopp’s European champions.
