CRYSTAL PALACE are keen to snap up Arsenal starlet Henri Lansbury on loan, according to reports.

The 17-year-old is highly thought of at the Emirates and made his senior debut in the Carling Cup last October.

He was also heavily involved in the club's pre-season programme.

But Gunners boss Arsene Wenger might be keen to get the midfielder out on loan to gain first team experience.

And the Eagles are believed to be ready to take the talented teeanger on a temporary basis.
