Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare is interesting Crystal Palace.
The Sun says Palace boss Patrick Vieira is a fan of the midfielder, 23, who has struggled since signing from Lille for £17million last year.
The French star may be swapped for Monaco winger Sofiane Diop but Palace will move if that does not happen.
But they do not want a bidding war and may ask for a loan deal with a view to a permanent signing.
The Foxes are in a fight to keep hold of other stars but Soumare is one of the few they are willing to let go for the right fee.
Soumare made 19 Premier League appearances in his first season at Leicester but failed to find the back of the net.
