England youth goalkeeper Rohan Luthra is set to leave Crystal Palace.

The 6ft 5in Punjabi stopper joined Palace as an eight-year-old and made his debut for the U18s aged just 15, reports Sky Sports. He signed his first professional contract in football with the Eagles ahead of last season.

Luthra earned a double-scholarship to attend Croydon's famous Whitgift School, where he spent two years playing in the same team as Chelsea and England winger Callum Hudson-Odoi. The pair won back-to-back national Independent Schools Football Association Cups together, with Luthra keeping a clean sheet and Hudson-Odoi scoring a hat-trick in a 3-0 win in the 2014 final.

Luthra's imminent departure from Palace will leave just three professionally contracted British South Asian footballers in the Premier League - Leicester City's Hamza Choudhury, Tottenham attacking midfielder Dilan Markanday and Manchester United youngster Zidane Iqbal.
