P Diddy interested in Palace

A spokesperson for P Diddy has confirmed to Sky Sports News that the American rap artist is interested in buying Crystal Palace.

Reports on Thursday indicated the 40-year-old New York-born hip-hop performer was looking to invest in the cash-strapped Championship club.

No further details are available on the proposed deal but a spokesperson for The Outside Organisation confirmed P Diddy's interest in the Championship club to Sky Sports News' chief news reporter Bryan Swanson.

Crystal Palace administrator Brendan Guilfoyle has been unavailable for comment on whether the US rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, has been in direct contact with him over a bid.

The club went into administration on January 26.

According to his spokesperson, P Diddy "isn't available for interviews" on the matter.
