ON THURSDAY before going to press, Advertiser Sport understood that the Eagles had made an enquiry for Swindon Town winger Matt Ritchie.
The 23-year-old is regarded as one of the best players in League One and has been instrumental in the club's successful season so far under Paolo Di Canio.
He was also the League Two Player of the Year last season.
Ritchie is quoted to have said: "To be linked with clubs is flattering, but I'm at Swindon and need to concentrate on what I'm doing here."
So far this campaign, he has scored nine times and created nine goals in 31 games for the Robins.
